Ellen Maynard
I met Ellen many moons ago. Ellen was in a networking group and was looking for someone who was associated with a particular company that she wanted to connect with. This referral led to a meeting at my office with Ellen and then to an event that she hosted at her job which then led to many other events that Ellen hosted like her epic birthday parties. Ellen has a spark and warmth that exudes through to everyone. You find yourself going to gatherings as an introvert wondering how you managed to get yourself there. That's Ellen's superpower. This spark, this warm hug, this person full of love, is in serious need. In December 2021 Ellen went to see her doctor. She has had a cough that never ever went away. She has cancer in both lungs and the cancer metastasized to her liver. Ellen said she would not go through the BS (chemo, radiation, etc). She is unable to work and her executor let me know that Ellen is in need of financial help. She is being made as comfortable as possible by the hospice nurse in the meantime, but her financial needs are becoming greater. Whatever you can do to help our Ellen would be a blessing to the woman who has always been there for anyone who needed her, ready with a hug.
