Robin Josephson is a 50 year old woman who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast
cancer while working overseas as a nurse.  After emergency treatment and
chemotherapy, Robin returned home to the United States very ill without insurance
and with limited funds.  

Friends helping Robin is a fund at Downey Savings Bank in Agoura Hills, California
that was setup by Robin's Sister, Karen Therrien.  When it became apparent that
Robin could no longer return to work, her sister reached out to the local community
and found we had many friends whom we did not know but wanted to assist Robin
get the care she required.

This fund has given Robin the help she has needed to pay living expenses and
medical expenses that are not covered by medi-cal.  It has shown Robin the
kindness and generosity of so many people we now call our friends.  The pure
beauty of these gifts has revived Robin's faith in the spirit of life.

"Please buy a beautiful bracelet to help a beautiful lady and support those
committed to finding a cure."
