HOW Danville Ends 2019 on a High Note By Kindra Brusseau, HOW Danville Chapter Leader
N
ovember was the last month of 2019 that we hosted a Helping One Woman dinner. It was our biggest event to date at 160 people, and it was especially neat to have that many people there because Shana, our November recipient, and her husband have only lived in Danville for the last year and have no family close to them. They were shocked by the support our community showed them. Shana Carroll is a mother to 4 little ones who was diagnosed with cancer in June 2019 and by July was told it had already spread. She is undergoing aggressive treatment but has a very positive outlook. She is the sweetest, most grateful woman. Her husband, Mike, came and made an amazing speech about his wife. Both of them cried tears of joy as were able to raise a wonderful amount of money for them. For our first event of 2020, the January dinner, we sold out at over 230 tickets! We are so glad to have found a new event space at Crow Canyon Country Club that can accommodate our rapidly growing dinners. Our dinners are held on the second Tuesday of every month, and the next recipient is picked at the previous month’s dinner.
