❤️ HELP US SUPPORT BROOKE’S FAMILY
Our Howard-Dooley Cafe family is asking for prayers and support for one of our own, our wonderful server, Brooke, and her family.
Brooke’s son, Aidan West, was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and will begin treatment this weekend at VCU. As you can imagine, this is an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time for Aidan and his loved ones.
What makes this journey even more heartfelt is that Aidan is expecting his first child in January. ❤️ During a time that should be filled with excitement and anticipation, their family is now facing uncertainty, worry, and the challenges that come with a cancer diagnosis and treatment.
We would love to surround Brooke, Aidan, and their entire family with the same love and support they so deserve. We are starting this donation campaign to help ease some of the financial burdens they may face during Aidan’s treatment and recovery.
If you are able, please consider donating to help this sweet family. Every contribution, no matter the amount, will make a difference. If you are unable to donate, we ask that you please PRAY, SHARE, and help spread the word. 🙏
Please pray for Aidan’s healing, strength for the days ahead, wisdom for his medical team, and comfort and peace for his entire family. We are believing in brighter days ahead and praying that Aidan can focus on fighting this battle while surrounded by the love of his family and community.
From all of us at Howard-Dooley Cafe, thank you for loving and supporting our own. Let’s come together and show Brooke and her family that they are not alone in this fight. Also, those that know Brooke can relate that she is stubborn and needs to stay busy. Brooke will continue to be at Howard-Dooley and Fiorello’s to occupy her time and mind so please be respectful for the distraction while she is not at the hospital. ❤️🙏
Every prayer matters. Every share helps. Every donation makes a difference.
With love and prayers,
Your Howard-Dooley Cafe Family ❤️
