Dear SWAU family, We are coming together to support our cherished friend and Co-Heart, SWA U LAS Manager, Debbi Bell, along with her husband & fellow Southwest Employee, Brian Bell, as they face one of life's most difficult battles—fighting against cancer. For months now we've witnessed Debbi's unwavering strength and dedication as she stands by her husband's side, providing love, care, and support throughout this challenging journey. Brian has been diagnosed with Leptomeningeal Metastatic Disease, and currently the diagnosis is terminal. They are spending thousands on out-of-town medical care, temporary lodging, & meals in hopes of delaying or beating this disease that has consumed Brian’s ability to move. We want to rally behind Debbi and Brian to show our support and offer a helping hand. That's why we're reaching out to today with an opportunity to make a tangible difference through the GiveinKind program. This program is more than just a fundraiser—it's a lifeline for Debbi and her husband. It's a way for us to step in and offer practical assistance: offering a meal delivery service to ease the burden of cooking or arranging transportation to and from appointments, every contribution, no matter how small, makes a world of difference! As a SWAU family, we pride ourselves on our unity, compassion, and support for one another. Now is the time for us to stand behind Debbi and her husband, showing them that they're not alone in this fight. Together, we can help alleviate some of the stress and uncertainty they're facing, allowing them to navigate this journey with a little less worry and a lot more hope. Your generosity will not only provide practical support but also serve as a powerful reminder to Debbi and her husband that they are surrounded by love and compassion during this challenging time. Thank you for your kindness, empathy, and willingness to make a difference in the lives of others. With heartfelt gratitude!
