Lisa’s Village: An Evening of Support
2025-06-14 18:30 - 22:00 | The Texas Gate, 304 1st Street, Cochrane, Alberta, Canada
Hello community of Cochrane,
We are reaching out on behalf of our dear friend, Lisa. If you’ve met Lisa, you know how kind and selfless she is—always helping others, always smiling through the pain. But behind that smile is someone who’s been silently suffering for years. But now, Lisa needs the community’s help.
Lisa has endured over 15 surgeries, a rare nerve disorder, and more than 10 traumatic concussions. Her brain is so sensitive now that even a small movement can cause another injury. These health battles have taken everything—her ability to work, her independence, and so much of her life.
Lisa and her husband Joey have exhausted all their resources—savings, insurance, and family support. Lisa now requires specialized treatments that are not covered by healthcare.
We’re holding a fundraiser on Saturday, June 14th, from 6:30 to 10 PM at The Texas Gate in Cochrane. Online and physical tickets are $20. There’ll be prizes, connection, and a chance to make a difference.
If you are able to join us, purchase a support ticket, donate a service or item for the raffle, or help spread the word, we would greatly appreciate it.
Lisa and Joey are forever grateful for your support and consideration.
Kind regards,
Team Lisa

We’re proud to bring this film to Cochrane as a fundraiser supporting Classrooms Without Walls, with a goal to help 10 Afghan women earn their GEDs online—a first step toward higher education and greater freedom. Since the filmin gof this film, the few rights that women had have been stripped away including access to education.
Our aim is to raise money for 5 women to complete their GED’s at a cost of $1000 each. Once they achieve their diploma, the doors may open for thme to continue with post secondary education. Classrooms without Walls allows for this opportunity to be possible.

Community gathering to support women’s rights & education
Chance to meet special guests and local changemakers. Martin Parnell, David Falconer – Founder of Classroom without Walls & Cochrane Resident, and more!
