Lynn
Laney and her son Geoffry.
Lynn
Laney has been a Woodstock staple in the travel industry. She is Vice
President of the family business, Laney International Travel, and she
and her company have helped create lifelong travel memories for many area
residents. Now it's time for the community to help Lynn.
Lynn,
36 years old, is in need of a liver transplant. As a result of a birth
defect in her liver coupled with a blood infection several years ago,
she has suffered severe damage to her liver. Lynn is also the mother of
a eight year-old son. Doctors are working to keep Lynn stabilized until
a liver can be found. The cost of a transplant is a staggering $200,000,
and that's where the community's "trash" comes in handy.
A
community yard sale will be held Saturday, October 23 at Kleven Boston
Elementary School's cafeteria from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. Community residents
are encouraged to scour their garages, basements and attics for yard sale
items to help make this event a huge success. The donations are all tax
deductible. For those who wish to donate items, please bring the items
to the set up, which will be held on October 22 from 6 - 8 p.m. in Boston's
cafeteria. The yard sale also will include several vendors, food for purchase,
and a raffle, all of which will benefit the cause. Vendors are still welcome
to participate, and exclusivity is based on a first come, first serve
basis.
This
is a great opportunity to clean up the house and help a community member
in need. A fund also has been set up for Lynn at SunTrust Bank, located
in the Publix at Rose Creek. To donate to the fund, please send your tax-deductible
donations to SunTrust Bank, 4403 Towne Lake Parkway, Woodstock, GA 30189
payable to the Lynn Laney Medical Fund, Attention Josh Baldwin.
Please
contact Phyllis (Hazie) Hazekamp at (770) 924-3889 or email hazie@mindspring.com
if you plan on bringing a yard sale item or to participate as a vendor.
