For Olivia

Bad things happen to good people; we've all heard that said, and sadly, it's all too often the truth. Such is the case with Olivia. According to those that know her best, she is someone who has famously given most generously to anyone who is in need, even total strangers, and she doesn't wait for them to ask for help. "When someone is sick, she is always the first one there; sends them flowers, money, cleans their house, cooks them dinner - whatever they need."

Now it is Olivia that needs the loving attention of others. This year has been a particularly hard one for her; divorce, death, and now cancer, for the 2nd time. She needs to have surgery, with extensive treatment to follow. She doesn't know how long she will miss work, and assistance is unavailable to her. She desperately needs our help to pay for her mounting medical bills.

Olivia is such a fabulous person, the kind of woman that is always there to provide whatever she can. But this time, let's face it, she's up against more than she can handle by herself, and that's where we come in. If you have never taken part in an event to help someone before, this is the one person that you will not regret helping, trust me. There is a Benefit For Olivia taking place at Flyers 6298 Pearl Rd. in Parma Hts. from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012.  For just $25 per person, there is food, beer and wine - all you can eat and drink. Also, Jell-o shots for $1 each. There will be gift baskets, raffles in which you can win $250, side boards, and of course, plenty of music. Come on out that evening and have a good time, all the while knowing that you are helping a truly wonderful person.
