Support for Lani and the Hart/Kaspari Family

Glenview, IL

Story

Lani was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer on March 3. She found something abnormal in mid-January and after a few visits to the doctor, Lani received the shocking and unexpected news. After many tests, Lani luckily learned that it is early stage, which we are very thankful for. Lani's life has changed overnight and she will be focused on treatment for the foreseeable future. Lani will be undergoing chemotherapy every 3 weeks starting on April 4 and this will continue through mid-July. Lani will have surgery in the fall and after that, her doctors will evaluate next steps and at minimum, she will need targeted therapy for a year. Lani and Jonathan are both thinking about their boys, Jake and Ben. They want to keep a sense of normalcy and routine for them as they finish up second grade and kindergarten, play lots of baseball this spring, and look ahead to a fun summer at Apachi! If you'd like to reach out to Lani to wish her well, please feel free to leave a note below or her email address is lanihart@gmail.com. She will be sharing updates on this page as she is able over the next few months.


Special Notes

Lani and her family are asking for meal support right now or Target/Amazon gift cards that can be used to get the kids something special. Details are listed on the linked calendar below. Home-cooked or easy-to-assemble meals OR gift cards from Door Dash and Grub Hub are great! A few notes/ideas: - Lani is gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. She doesn't eat corn. She would love to eat as clean as possible and would love options for added calories (avocado, olive oil, ghee), high-quality protein (e.g., chicken, beef, turkey, egg, etc.), cooked veggies (e.g., broccoli, asparagus, squash, cauliflower, etc.) and potatoes/quinoa. - Jonathan, Jake and Ben eat almost anything! Some ideas for meals including pasta, lasagna, burgers, tacos, chicken, burritos and fruit/veggies. - Jake and Ben also love healthy baked goods (e.g., bars, muffins, etc.) that they can eat at home or take to school - what a treat! For delivered meals: Please drop off at the front door at 5pm. If that time doesn't work, please text Jonathan to coordinate (612-269-5258). Our address is 1014 Church Street, Glenview. We appreciate you being aware of food safety when preparing, given Lani's immune response to chemotherapy. Thank you in advance for extra care when washing your hands, all cooking supplies, and produce.

Lani, hi it's Jeff Kondritzer here. I am thinking of making a shepherd's pie (mashed potatoes, ground beef or lamb with gravy) for April 7. Let me know if it's something you all would like. If not, I'll do a quinoa something or other. JK
