We sadly share the news that our friend Sean McNeill passed away peacefully yesterday, July 26, 2019.  He was surrounded by his loving family and close friends, Anne and Kieran.  Details about funeral arrangements will be provided as they become available.  We will continue our fundraising efforts on his behalf to lessen the burden of this medical expenses

Our friend Sean McNeill has always been someone who gives back to the community.

Now it’s time for the community to give back to Sean.

Sean is suffering from an aggressive and debilitating form of gall bladder cancer and faces an uncertain prognosis.

Compounding his medical challenges are the financial ones.

An entrepreneur, Sean ran his own real estate business and two online shopping start-ups, but now that he is incapacitated, his income has dried up as his bills are piling up--from his monthly rent to the staggering medical fees not covered by health insurance.

A native of County Roscommon, Sean is well-known in New York’s Irish community. A longtime member of the Irish Business Organization of New York, Sean served on the IBO board, was a three-year IBO president and is a member of the IBO advisory board.

He’s taken part in Concern fundraising runs, Solace House Sunrise Walks, the Irish “Meitheal” to aid in the recovery of the post-Hurricane Sandy Rockaways, Irish County Association events, and other many fundraising events in the community.

While we can’t provide the medical know-how to help Sean’s cause, we can provide a key part of the financial support he needs to pay for his costly treatments and to give Sean some peace of mind in the face of such financial stress.

Sean had been reluctant to be a burden on anyone, but now, faced with so many challenges, he welcomes our help.

We’ve established a challenging goal of $50,000, a sum which will have a real impact on meeting his mounting needs.

Please join us in supporting a man who provided so much support for others through his dedication to the community.

Please give generously to this Sean McNeill Fund.

And thank you from all his many friends…and from Sean himself.
