Ollenberger Family


Please see the following message from Secretary Elise Peterson concerning KCDA member Texanna Ollenberger and her family.

---

Dear Colleagues:

Our dear friend and colleague, Texanna Ollenberger and her family need our help!  Texanna’s 10-year old granddaughter, Anna has brain cancer. Anna is the daughter of Rolland & Jamie Powers.  Things were going well for Anna; the doctors thought that the course of treatment was working; however, recent testing has determined this not the case and Anna is no longer eligible for the clinical trial. Unfortunately, the cancer is now rampant in her body and new tumors are being found.  In addition, medical bills are mounting - the community of Paola is rallying and putting together fundraisers to help, but the family can use our help!!!  Feel free to join Anna’s Facebook page “Angels for Anna” which talks about all the community fundraisers that are being done for Anna and ways you can help with these fundraisers.

Texanna has blessed so many people through her incredible teaching, faith and loving personality.  Her profound effect on choral music has certainly made a difference in our lives!  If you would like to help, please pray and send words of encouragement to her and her family - her address is 27430 Woodland Rd, Paola, Ks 66071.  If you are interested in making a financial donation to help with cancer treatment and mounting medical bills, we know the family would be grateful.
