For those of you who don't know her, Alison Lyons-Barto is a massage therapist and she has specialized training in oncology massage. Much of her professional career has been dedicated to bringing comfort to people whose journey she now shares. She is a loving wife, mom, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She is active in her church and her community. She has a smile that lights up a room and you want to know her. Be her. She is you. She is me. She is every woman who thinks they know the path their life will take...until suddenly they don't.
Fighting illness at the start of a new year means health insurance deductibles have reset. Medical costs will quickly add up. Her husband, Christopher, has taken FMLA but the blessing of being present for Alison is offset by not receiving a full paycheck. With two kids in college and Alison unable to work right now, this campaign can help ensure everyone’s focus stays united on her fight for health.
Alison and her family believe in the power of prayer and in miracles. Through this cancer journey Alison has felt God’s presence sustaining her. She has seen his handiwork daily while in the hospital and through the people in her life. He has painted beautiful sunrises over the Connecticut hills, a full beautiful rainbow on a cloudy day and in the people she has met along the way.
If you are able to make a donation, we thank you. But regardless, please pray for Alison.
