Jamie Ferenbaugh's Reason for Giving Back

I am a 10 year breast cancer survivor. When I was diagnosed, I was devastated. I had my husband, a 19-year-old daughter, and my 2-year-old son. I was scared, angry, and confused. I knew I had to face a demon I knew nothing about with the help from family, friends, doctors, and nurses. I knew what I had to do. After 7 months, I completed my treatments. I wanted to give. I raised money for many years. I had t-shirts, decals, and jewelry made. We've also done jeans for donations and hats for a cure.

Tara, the principal at Danville Elementary, suggested we start giving to the KCH breast cancer fund. She talked with a recently diagnosed lady and realized this was a great fund to give to. Especially since it stays local, this is our 2nd year doing this, and I hope I can keep contributing.
Cancer has struck our families way too often. I feel like I need to do something to help. Even if it's putting a smile on someone's face, this is my way of helping and giving back.

Thank you so much, Jameson and Paisley!
Jameson (8 years old), and his sister, Paisley (5 years old), recently presented 18 lap quilts to staff at the KCH Cancer Care Center, located in the Knox Medical Pavilion. The siblings' mother, Gabby, said the young pair decided on their own to use their spending money in a way that would honor the memory of their grandmother, who used to receive chemotherapy there.

Last Thursday, many of us celebrated our Thanksgiving. Then many of us began holiday shopping on Black Friday while some quietly stayed at home. Others focused on that second or third piece of pie! Small business Saturday came and went as lots of us happily supported local shops and businesses. Then came Cyber Monday, and millions of dollars were spent online.

Today is Giving Tuesday—the best day of the week. People across the globe are encouraged to support the causes and organizations they believe in and to send them a donation. Knox Community Hospital is here for you and your family 24/7/365 days a year—an organization that you can believe in.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month, and according to the Knox County Health Needs Assessment report in 2018, 11% of adults in our county have been diagnosed with diabetes.

Sometimes referred to as "the mother of many diseases," diabetes requires vigilant blood sugar testing. But some patients don't have the resources they need to do the proper monitoring. So, what do they do? They skip their self-testing or re-use old test strips to make their limited supplies last a little bit longer. It's easy to see why they get inaccurate readings which then lead to life-threatening consequences. It's a deadly cycle.

A few years ago, a generous local donor started a restricted fund to help these needy patients. For just $50 a month, we can supply an indigent patient with a month's worth of test strips or a single vital glucometer. Your gift of any amount would be greatly appreciated.
