I never thought I would be writing this or looking for people’s help. Mary is more than just an amazing wife, mother, grandma, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend. Mary is the glue that holds everything together for all of us and more. Mary has taken care of anyone and everyone that she could who needed her guidance and help. She has always and still puts everyone else's needs before her own. Mary has worked hard all her life, retired, and is still working.

The past couple of months have been very stressful, anxious, and emotional for Mary and her family. After being sick and thinking it was just a cold, the doctors found a renal mass on her left kidney. Our lives hit a huge upset when we found out the tumor is cancer and Mary has renal cell carcinoma. Mary is going to have surgery at the end of August to have her kidney removed. We are unsure of how long recovery will be and the steps after it’s removed. My Mother is so strong that we are hoping recovery is not long. Thank God in every other way , she is healthy! Mary, as we all know, has so much anxiety and worries about not only her health but now finances. Mary is never the one to ask for help and still is refusing, but she needs it. The funds will be used for her to remain paying their monthly bills, copays, and things she may need while recovering. We want her to recover and heal without any other worries or burdens. I have never meta woman that is so strong and focused. Looking at her shows nothing more than her continued smile and love! Any amount will help, but not just money, all the thoughts and prayers are more than enough. Mary has a positive attitude and remains smiling as she always has and will. She is a very strong woman who will not show any illness, fear, anxiety or stress but instead, love and smiles!

Mary thanks everyone in advance, especially for the thoughts and prayers, not just financial help. All funds will go directly to her bank so the funds are there to pay bills and any needs she has! This is just a bump in the road that will be smoothed out soon! Positive thoughts are instilled deep inside her and everyone!
