An online fundraising site has been recently set up to assist the Tom Brubaker family. The Liberty Lake resident was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012 and suffered a stroke in January of this year that left him unable to work and requiring full-time care.
Liberty Lake resident Amie Holmquist is currently training to compete in the Coeur d'Alene Ironman to raise funds for children battling cancer.
Holmquist served as a nurse for Anna Schindler during the time she battled liver cancer. She is hoping to raise $3,000 for the Anna Schindler Foundation which provides support to families to help defray expenses for food, gas, lodging, travel for treatment and medical bills.
