CARE FOR CAREN HELP HER BEAT BREAST CANCER !

Hi, My Name is Tracy Sheehan and I have been friends with Caren for 40 years! We met when we were 15! She is always a happy, laughing, cheerful person always with a smile on her face. She has 4 beautiful children who are helping her as much as young adults can, but are just starting out on their own. Some in college. Caren has been a nurse for 35 years and has also been a traveling nurse helping people all across the country extending all the way to Hawaii!

-8 years ago Caren was diagnosed with stage Two Breast Cancer. She under went a lumpectomy and chemotherapy for 3 months! They then told her she was Cancer Free for 8 years!

-Unfortunately in June 2023 at her scheduled 6 month mammogram she was blindsided when she was told that the Cancer was back, This Time Stage 3 and had metastasized to her Lymph Nodes! She was advised by her doctors to have a Double Mastectomy and had to have her Lymph Nodes Removed! Caren is currently undergoing Chemotherapy every other week traveling back and forth from NH to Dana Farber in Boston. Sick from the Chemotherapy and bald she had to try and return to work last week due to the fact that her FLMA TIME had been exhausted! To hold her position at her job as a nurse, she is trying to work but it very tiring and making her physically weak. It is just too much too handle for Caren.

-Caren has alot of Pride and did not want anyone to do this for her but, it is making my best friend stressed due to the fact that her savings is gone from paying her living expenses her car payment which she needs to get back and forth to her treatments and her medical expenses. She still has to start Radiation in January 5x a week until the Dr. clears her. Please help my best friend Caren get through this Breast Cancer Again!!

-Any monetary donations would help Caren immensely get through the next few months to keep her in her home, doesn’t lose her car, and can pay her bills that as you all know just keep coming! She will not be able to return to work until after radiation in January so she had told her children that she would not be able to afford Christmas gifts for them or the grandchildren, which breaks her heart but maybe with your help you can take some stress off of her life mentally!! She is Dealing with Enough Stress Already!! The response from her children was the only present we want is for you to get better Mom! I am asking please whatever you feel you can donate to Caren would be a great help for her! Any amount you are willing to contribute would be so greatly appreciated, and also please share with your friends and family, it would mean the world to us! .

Sincerely,

Tracy Ricciardi
