Steff Mahan, Diane Durrett and Hannah Thomas will be performing the Writers in the Round - all proceeds are going to Shemere. These funds will help her and her 13y/o daughter through their journey of a heart transplant for Shemere. She has Congestive Heart Failure and has been doing everything right since first diagnosed in 2005. Her heart is tired and just can't pump that blood like it used to. In 2018, she's progressed from a defibrillator to a pacemaker, had to cut her work back to minimum hours just to survive, in turn, lost her medical insurance, her house, her car and she and her daughter have taken everything else they have left and moved into a 1 bedroom apartment.
