As you know, a huge part of this journey is behind Sarah, and we celebrate with her! However, she still has a few mountains in front of her, and we foresee some increasing needs as a result.
This morning, Wednesday, Sept 24th at 8:45, Sarah will go into surgery. She’d appreciate your prayers for herself and her family.
We know there are SO many of you who love Sarah and the whole Denman family, and who would want to know what the needs are and how you can help. So, below are a few ideas. . .
MEALS
With her surgery today and radiation to start not long after that, it would be wonderful to have a steady stream of meals for the Denmans! Frozen meals work great, but if you have a special “fresh” meal you want to make, we will make sure it gets to them ASAP!
We have a few people ready to receive and collect meals who will then deliver to the Denmans as needed. Please note that our “points of contact” to whom you can bring your meals have changed slightly:
LCRA folks – Chris Phillips
South Austin area – Sonya Dalrymple and Ann
If you could check the CareCalendar and sign up there if you plan to do a meal, that will help us keep meals spaced out evenly. Contact information for Ann and Sonya D. is listed there as well.
(Please note: the meals don’t have to be prepared/delivered on a Wednesday, we basically have 5 meals a week listed, and just put the list on Wednesday’s space. In fact, Mondays would be a great day to have a meal ready, because several of us are in town and able to tag-team with kids and errands, etc. and it would be relatively easy for us to pick up as many meals as are ready!)
GROCERY GIFT CARDS
Sarah is tackling this cancer from every angle she can, and with the help of a great nutritional specialist, she is eating the foods that will give her body the best energy and capability for healing! However, this food is very expensive. So, if you’d like to help defray the cost of this expense, a helpful item would be a gift card to HEB or Whole Foods. You can either mail the gift card directly to the Denmans or hand off to one of the meal delivery contacts if you would rather not send in the mail.
RAISING FUNDS TO FINISH THE FIGHT
Fighting cancer is expensive. And when you combine the series of procedures and medicines that are around the corner with the changes in healthcare coverage that are about to take effect, the funds to finish this fight is significant!
We so appreciated everyone’s help with the garage sale for the Denmans, and through that experience, we saw that many of you want to help financially. So, we have set up a donation account for the Denmans at the LCRA credit union. Instructions for donating are below. Also, if you have any other ideas for fundraisers, please contact Kristin at KristinPmom@gmail.com.
For people outside of LCRA that wish to donate to the account, they can mail a check or money order (with “James Denman donation account” on the Memo line) to:
LCRA Credit Union
P.O. Box 5310
Austin, TX 78763
Others may choose to drop off cash, check or money order.
The instrument provided should reference “ James Denman donation account”.
Those within LCRA may choose to come in and transfer money from their account with LCRA Credit Union into the donation account or drop off cash, check or money order. If the donor wishes to remain anonymous he/she must inform us of such.
The LCRA CU is open at the Service Center on Mon, Wed, and Fri from 7:00 am -11:00 am and 11:30 am-2:30 pm.
The main office on Lake Austin Blvd. (next to the dam) is open Mon-Fri 9:00 am-4:30 pm.

Thanks for all of your help – from Sarah’s Friends 🙂
