We would like to take the time to say thank you to everyone who has shown there love and support during this tragic time. The Red Cross has been able to help the Hill/Hafford family make arrangements to fly home; because as some may have heard, most of the family was in Miami headed on a 7 day/night vacation in the Bahamas when the fire broke out in Estelle Hills home. Gloria Hill, LaʼDetres Stallworth and his two children LaʼDetres Jr. and DeʼAsia Stallworth (5 and 3) were all released from the hospital and have a strong bill of health, and were told that they would be okay. They along with Ronny Hill and Kathy Maxel have been given emergency funding and have been put-up in homes by Family and Friends. However due to the fact that this was a sudden incident no arrangements have been made as of yet for Tawanna Haffords funeral.
A fund has been set up and sent out by Fifth/Third Bank and Channel 5. This fund is called the Tawanna Hafford Memorial. We urge you, please go to your local Fifth/Third Bank and make a donation to help pay for the funeral, clothing, food, and burial arrangements for Tawanna Hafford and those who lost their possessions in the Fire. Also please continue to pray for this familyʼs strength and wellness during this tragic time.
Thank you and God Bless.
LiʼDairious Hafford (loving brother)

Please help Tori Meier
This is a personal plea for your help from Joseph Jones. I have determined not to sit idly by while a young girl and her family suffers. Tori’s mother, Jessica, works with my wife Amanda at Standard Textile and is in tremendous need of our help.
This is the story of Tori Meier. In 1999 Tori was diagnosed with Epilepsy. When the illness became uncontrollable a medical procedure was performed in an attempt to isolate and control the area of Tori’s brain which doctors believed was causing the episodes. Upon attempting to localize they discovered a brain tumor which they could not remove due to its location. Tori was subsequently placed on medication to control the seizures which ultimately did not work.
Doctors determined that removal of the brain tumor was a must in order to save Tori’s life. During the procedure it was discovered that Tori had cancer. Daily chemotherapy and radiation treatments are currently being utilized to cure the challenge and this of course has been devastating to the family. Tori’s mother has found it necessary to now work part-time in order to be with Tori while she is going through treatments and being home schooled.
As if the medical condition of Tori weren’t placing enough strain on the family they are about to loose their home. Jessica’s medical insurance did not cover the cost of chemotherapy and Jessica was left with no choice but to pay out of pocket for the treatment. The financial burden coupled with her reduction of work hours has done insurmountable damage to the families finances.
IT’S TIME TO HELP ONE OF OUR OWN! This family is in immediate need of financial assistance and anything you can do is greatly appreciated. If you would like to help save this family’s home and get them on the road to recovery please make a financial contribution to the following fund established at Fifth Third Bank: The Tori Meier Benefit Fund no later than Friday, November 2nd. Your giving will change a family’s life and is greatly appreciated!

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month...
Pancreatic cancer: Is still the 4th leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Receives the least amount of federal research dollars among all leading cancers. Gets little public attention.
November, as you may have heard, is National Pancreatic Awareness Month. The campaign is “Picture your world Purple” where we are encouraging everyone to wear purple on November 15th.
Z Gallerie (located in Rookwood Commons) hosts their annual PanCAN event where a portion of all their sales for the week will be donated to PanCAN for research and cure. Our affiliation will be setting up a table during the week of November 5-11 to coincide with their week and we’ll be handing out literature on PanCAN to inform the general public.
The Cincinnati Affiliation will be participating in the Thanksgiving Day race downtown wearing the PanCAN singlets. We have not raised money for this event but people are welcome to donate and they can contact me at skrause@fuse.net or my cell number: 513-259-9541 if they are interested in donating to PanCAN. The objective here is to raise awareness –we’ll focus on hosting an ‘event’ as we grow. We will be stuffing race bags on November 19 at Bob Ronkers in O’Bryonville for the Thanksgiving Day race participants with literature and other items to again –inform about Pancreatic Cancer, PALS (Patient and Liaison services) and PanCAN.
