Smiles and Tears too!

 

It was an emotional day and we were honored to present Tammy Long and her family a check for $1,000 on behalf of ZCare with Majestic Pines. The money will be used to offset the piling medical bills from her lung transplant and battle with lung cancer. Thanks for showing your support at Tammy’s benefit at the Onalaska American Legion on Saturday, July 28th. Tammy is an inspiration to all of us and will remain in our thoughts and prayers as she continues to battle lung cancer.
