Cambria family thanks community for help

The Moon family wishes to thank the Cambria community and friends from all over who donated money, made our house handicapped accessible, trimmed trees, walked our dogs, made food, gave gas cards, watered our yard or helped in any other way. Thanks also to Gym One, Grow Nursery and the Central Coast Cactus and Succulent Society for their fundraisers. Thanks to all who came to the spaghetti feed and to all the volunteers and businesses who donated food. Thanks for sending cards showing love and support for Earl and Skyler and the rest of our family.

We knew our town was special and that we have a lot of wonderful friends, but this overwhelmed us. Our family appreciates everything you have done for us during this difficult time in our lives.

Skyler is getting tested regularly since her cancer surgery, and Earl hopes to return home in three to four months. He will be having shoulder surgery in the next month because of a very unfortunate tear in his shoulder. He has to have the surgery to assist in his recovery. It is a step back, but it will allow him more therapy, which is good.

There are too many wonderful people to name, but we love and thank you all. Can’t wait to be home to our Central Coast family.

Jan, Earl, Skyler and Westin Moon, Cambria
