The Leigh Sakoda Foundation celebrated Father’s Day by making a very important grant to a 34 year old woman with inoperable stage IV pancreatic cancer. This is very rare form of cancer with extremely poor prognosis. She is a self-employed new mother of a 5-month old baby girl, and her husband is a musician who does not have reliable income. Their insurance does not cover all of her medical expenses, and the family struggles to keep up with their regular household bills. This grant will cover their mortgage and other unpaid medical bills.
