About Me

OURFRIENDFRANCIS is an official charity, registered with the State of WA. We are supporting our friend Francis as he fights Leukemia. Francis ‘Moe’ Salanoa previously served in the Marine Corps for nine years and has worked at Maple Lane School as a Security Officer for the Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration and for the State of Washington for the past eight years. Francis is 35 years young, is a member of WFSE union and lives an active life style enjoying hunting, hiking, camping, golf, basketball (especially the Lakers), football, racquetball and motorcycles. For the past couple of months, he thought he had a cold that he just couldn’t beat. Francis has reached a new and unexpected phase in his life. On Monday, June 2nd, Francis found out he has Acute Leukemia. He received a bone marrow transplant on October 28th and is in recovery. Francis has donated blood at blood drives through the Puget Sound Blood Center many times and is now in receipt of the benefits of all the generous blood donors. Francis has five young children who spend a lot of time at the hospital with their dad and between his family, friends and co-workers; he has a lot of support. We would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers on his behalf.
