How you can help us help more: If you would like to direct a specific donation to help Faith pay down her ongoing expenses, simply mail checks in any amount made out to Denver Actors Fund (with Faith Ford’s name written in the topic field), to P.O. Including targeted donations from the community, The Denver Actors Fund has made $6,409.02 available to assist Faith with her medical expenses.
In October 2019, the Board further approved a second payment of $1,289.03 to pay for additional post-insurance medical bills. How we are helping: in 2018, The Denver Actors Fund’s board of directors voted to pay $5,000 of Faith’s expenses, which a the time represented the largest single initial payout to any of of the Colorado theatre artists the DAF has now helped. The good news is Faith’s singing voice is unaffected, and she should otherwise face no further medical complications.

Plus she was out of work from her day job two months while recovering from the second surgery. The prognosis is god, but she has required continuing treatment, including having to take an (expensive) daily pill for life that replicates thyroid function. And she needed a second surgery to remove the thyroid and take an injection of radioactive iodine that thankfully removed all remaining cancer cells. Surgery to remove her tonsils, adenoids and lymph nodes left Faith with a staggering post-insurance, out-of-pocket hospital bill of $5,600. Her medical story: Faith began to experience issues with her throat more than a year ago, which eventually led to diagnosis of thyroid cancer at only age 24. played Tracy Turnblad in the Town Hall Arts Center’s “Hairspray” and was an ensemble member in the Green Day musical “American Idiot.” She previously performed Little Theatre of the Rockies’ “Sister Act,” “The Addams Family” and “Dogfight” in Greeley. She is currently playing Alice Beineke in Vintage Theatre’s production of The Addams Family through October 27. Another good one is the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival in May with its Cajun and zydeco dance contests, a crawfish étouffée cook-off and, the best part, Louisiana crawfish served in more delicious ways than you can imagine.Faith Ford in Vintage Theatre Productions’ ‘The Addams Family.’ Photo by RDG PhotographyĪid recipient: Loveland native Faith Siobahn Ford Ford is a graduate of Thompson Valley High School and the University of Northern Colorado. I like to collect antique Pecan Festival posters.
There's a big parade, live music, games, fireworks and a queen's ball. People come from all over to attend the Louisiana Pecan Festival. One of my favorite ways to have a good time in Louisiana is our great festivals. If you're into fishing like me, there's no better place to do it than in La Salle and Catahoula parishes. Those are some of my favorite places to visit. Francisville, as well as the Kent Plantation House in Alexandria. If you're into history, I'd suggest checking out the seven plantation homes in St. You pass by plantations and colorful old homes. I like to go through Bunkie on the old highway. But you can also find great things in the smaller towns, too, like the Red Barn Mall in Pineville. You can walk down Magazine Street in New Orleans and run into a great, eclectic bunch of shops selling furniture, clothing, pottery, local artwork and just about anything you can imagine. I go crazy for pie, and there's no better place to get it than at Lea's Lunchroom in Lecompte, the pie capital of Louisiana. I can get on a roll and I don't know what happened I look down and I don't know how many pounds I've eaten.ĭid I mention we've got some great food in Louisiana? Try a roast beef po-boy at Ray's PeGe in Monroe. When it comes to crawfish, I'm possessed. It's not good for the manicure, but I can't help it. The best food ever is the homecooked stuff at the truck stops. In Louisiana, you could stop about every other place to eat, and you'd eat well.
Like most people, one of my favorite things about Louisiana is food.
