Fundraiser for Sarah (Burger) Farris this Saturday

 

[June 15, 2023] 

On Saturday, June 17th from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. there will be fundraiser at the Lincoln Knights of Columbus with proceeds to go to Sarah (Burger) Farris who is currently battling breast cancer.

Farris is a 42-year-old mother of three who has worked hard and done all she could to raise her family in a fitting way. She has seen hard times, just as many have, but has met each challenge with grace and determination. She is loved by her family and friends and admired for her strength and courage in the face of adversity.

Farris was diagnosed in January with Triple Negative Metastatic Breast Cancer. She is currently undergoing a six-month action plan with chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

She was also found to have compression in her neck and spinal cord and his a great deal of pain plus numbness in her arms and hands. Battles with insurance coverage and other obstacles have made it difficult for Farris to receive the medical treatments she needs.

Also she is unable to work and support her family. Farris has three children, Madison age 22, Mason age 18, and Maelyn age 10. She also shares her home with her mother, who has had her own health challenges.

The family needs the support of the community in prayers but also in financial support.

The fundraiser this weekend will help Farris, her children and her mother be able to rest a little easier.

The event planned for Saturday is sure to be a fun day with raffles. 50/50 drawings, a live auction, food and music.

The community is asked to come out, have a great time at the fundraiser and show support for Farris and her family.
