Dear Friends and Supporters,

This is probably one of the most difficult postings I have ever had to write.

After nearly eight years of working to pay the medical bills of uninsured breast cancer patients here in Colorado, it is time to close The Mickaela Foundation. And while there is much sadness and regret about ending this mission, we have not been able to compete effectively with the bigger organizations for donations, and we simply have not maintained a consistent team to run the day-to-day and fundraising operations.

Those of you who I have been fortunate enough to have met throughout this journey, you have inspired me to reach beyond anything I could have imagined and stay with it for several years longer than I probably should have. And every time I spoke to one of "Our Ladies", on the phone or in person, it made it all worth it. If this thing was going to grow beyond just one person, it was going to do it this Summer. And it looked as though it might. We found some really good people to replace the original Board members who just finally had to step away after 6 years of service.

But it just wasn't enough.

As a final plan of action we will sell all of our assets at The Mickaela Foundation office and use the proceeds to fund any remaining bills of the patients in our program. This includes a computer, desks, printers, chairs, t-shirts, vending machines, fundraising supplies, etc.

The Liquidation Sale will be held Friday November 14th from 10:00am - 7:00pm and Saturday November 15th from 10:00am to 3:30pm. All purchased items will need to be removed from the premises immediately, or arrangements to be made for pick up by November 21st. I will begin listing items on our website next week. >>> Click here to see what's available. >>>

So to all of you who have been there with us since the beginning; thank you so much!

To "Our Ladies": Anyone who is currently in our program, we will use all proceeds from our Liquidation Sale to fund any remaining bills we have in our office by November 11th.

To everyone who has been involved in this Mission: I invite you to join us for our final Board meeting on Tuesday November 11th (Mickaela's birthday) at 6:30pm to share a toast with us and help us close this chapter.
