Benefit for Jayne Osmanski

This past summer Jayne Osmanski from East Aurora was diagnosed with liver failure, due to autoimmune hepatitis, and is in need of a liver transplant.

Jayne, a mother, wife, and teacher in the Frontier Central School District, has been forced to take an indefinite leave of absence from her position. She has had extended stays at Strong Memorial Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic, which have afforded her the opportunity to be on liver transplant lists in both New York and Ohio. This has put a tremendous financial hardship on the Osmanski family. However, this is only the beginning of their journey; after a successful surgery Jayne will need to remain in the Cleveland area, requiring extensive post-operative care.

All proceeds raised will be used to ease some of the financial hardship the Osmanski family will be faced with during pre and post-operative care, such as hospital stays, follow up treatments, and a lifetime of medications.

Jayne's family, friends, and loved ones will also be hosting a benefit on March 24, 2013 from 1:00PM to 6:00PM at the Sloan Fire Hall. A Chinese auction, silent auction, 50-50 split, entertainment, food, and drinks will be featured at the benefit. Benefit tickets can be purchased for $20.00 pre-sale and $25.00 at the door, with free admission for children under 10 years of age. For tickets or information, please contact: Jahna O'Connor (716) [phone redacted].
