Frank & Charon : Fundraiser for Cancer Journey

Donation protected
My name is Meldon Ellis, (aka, Mel). I have been fortunate to have Frank O'Brien as my brother-in-law for over 40 years, and Charon as my beloved sister. Recently, they were confronted with the very sad news of Frank's cancer diagnosis. The timing of these challenges is never opportune, particularly considering the recent losses our family has endured. We lost my sister Kim two years ago, followed by my mother, Beth, and then my brother-in-law, Peter, just a year ago.

Throughout these trying times, Frank and Charon have been pillars of strength for our family. They provided unwavering support as we navigated the difficult experiences of supporting caring for our other family members, including my father, Tom, my brother-in law, Gordon, and my sister Juliet, all of whom lost spouses within the past two years.

Both Frank and Charon are self-employed, and this campaign's objective is to rally support and create a financial safety net for them. This will allow them the opportunity to focus on one another and spend quality time together while navigating this challenging period.

The goal of our fundraiser is to alleviate the financial strain that comes with medical treatments and the necessary time away from work. Your contributions will help create the space for Frank and Charon to solely concentrate on each other and their well-being during this difficult journey.

Your support, whether through donations or sharing this campaign, will make an immense difference in their lives. We sincerely appreciate any help you can provide as we come together to support Frank and Charon during this challenging time.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Sincerely,
Mel
