REDM
In June of 2015, Evett noticed a pea-sized mass under her left breast. By the time she was officially diagnosed with IBC in July, the mass had grown to the size of a large grapefruit. IBC is a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1% of all breast cancer starts with the reddening and swelling of the breasts instead of a distinct lump that we are trained to examine for. IBC tends to grow and spread quickly, with symptoms worsening within days or even hours. Evett was a fighter, but she did lose this battle. Now, her best friend, Danyelle Spencer Morris, has taken up the cause to educate, inform, and help cancer victims and survivors. She has invited friends and family to help her in this worthy cause. In addition to awarding scholarships and donating money to MD Anderson for research, the Rhondolyn Evett Dearbonne-Morris IBC Research and Scholarship Foundation has been interviewing and broadcasting the stories of the cancer journey. See their Facebook page for updates or to donate to this worthy cause.

HARDIN LIONS CLUB
Hardin Lions shared with widows, widowers, single-parent families and the elderly for Valentine’s Day. With the hardships brought about by the Pandemic, the Hardin Lions wanted to try to help different demographics and follow up on some individuals that they touched for Christmas.
The Lone Star Boot Crew, which is the Youth Cyber Chat Group for the Hardin Lions, made and delivered Valentine’s Day gifts for widows, widowers, single moms and single dads.
Hardin Lions are already making plans to adopt citizens from local nursing homes for both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. A bag of essentials and some treats will be given to each one on their respective holiday. The bag will contain such items as hand sanitizer, socks, house shoes, puzzle books, pens, toothbrushes and cards. Anyone who would like to contribute to this effort may contact Hardin Lions President Savannah Ardoin at 936-776-6427 or savannahardoin73@gmail.com or Hardin Lions Secretary Bonita Davis at 936-334-9058 or dgbd2021@gmail.com.
