Therefore please keep Karen in your prayers or contact me at trent@trentaustin.com directly if you'd like to help.

Can you give us some more info on this situation. Was she playing free lancing in Boston? Does she not have health insurance? What is going on?

My best to her!

TrentAustin · 09-04-2004, 06:03 PM

Sure...

She does have health insurance, although it is minimal coverage and her upcoming surgery is going to be very costly.

She really needs help because that she hasn't been able to work her full schedule because of the stomach cancer. Her energy is zapped, her gigs have been virtually cancelled because of her lack of energy and the pain she is in. I know that if I couldn't gig or work a day job that I'd be in serious financial trouble.

I can go more in detail privately if you'd like.

Thanks for all of your emails and prayers. Times like these make me very thankful to have such a wonderful playing community to lean on.

No more details are needed. I am just glad to hear that she has -some- form of health insurance. If she didn't that would be an even bigger problem. Again my best to her!
