Support Bonnie's Fight Against Cancer

UPDATE 4/28/25:

Bonnie will be travelling to Boston this week to have the radioactive implant placed, as well as attending several other appointments. She could really use some help for gas, food, and lodging for these trips. Sending a heartfelt thank you to all of the amazing donors who have helped so far! Please keep sharing and watching for updates!

We are starting this GoFundMe for our colleague and good friend Bonnie Martin. Bonnie has been a resident of South Thomaston for many years, during which she lead her career as a nurse; until about 10 years ago when she changed courses and began dedicating her time to working with the unhoused population in the greater Knox County area. Over the last decade she has supported and cared for many individuals and families, building everlasting relationships with her colleagues along the way.

Recently, Bonnie was diagnosed with inoperable Stage 3 Cervical Cancer and now she needs our support. Bonnie has been out of work for nearly 2 months and will have to continue to miss work as she travels to and from appointments to receive treatment. She has appointments locally, in Augusta and Portland, and recently found out she will need to travel to Boston to have a radioactive implant placed. Between the cost of medical appointments and her monthly bills, being out of work has caused serious financial hardship for her, so we are trying to raise money to help her pay medical expenses as well as everyday costs of living. This wonderful woman needs the help of our amazing community!

Thank you for taking the time to read this, any donation helps no matter the size, and if you are unable to donate please share this on social media to help spread the word!

We want to thank any donors in advance for opening your heart and being helpful to your community (in true Bonnie fashion might we add!). We will keep this updated as Bonnie's treatment continues. If there are any questions please feel free to reach out via email to Angel Frank or Mert Sawyer (reach out through GoFundMe for the emails).
