Dear Friends and Community Members,

I am reaching out to you today on behalf of an incredible woman who has touched the lives of many in our community – Erin (Kinski) Coughlin. As a devoted mother of two boys, an esteemed educational assistant at Nauset Regional Schools, a Nauset Hall of Fame Recipient, and the passionate coach of the Nauset girls basketball team, Erin has always been a pillar of strength and inspiration to those around her.

Unfortunately, Erin has recently been faced with unexpected health challenges. On March 15, 2024, she underwent surgery after being diagnosed with Melanoma. As she awaits further guidance from her oncologist regarding her treatment plan, another hurdle emerged. Erin's right leg became swollen, rendering her unable to walk. Subsequently, on March 20, 2024, she received the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.

As Erin continues her journey toward recovery, she is currently undergoing treatment at Spaulding Rehab, following a five-day stay at Cape Cod Hospital. We understand that managing medical expenses can be overwhelming, especially when facing unforeseen health issues. Therefore, we are rallying together to create a fund that will directly support Erin's care, alleviate the burden of medical bills, and address any unexpected costs related to her treatment.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in ensuring that Erin receives the care and support she needs during this challenging period. Whether you are able to donate financially or offer words of encouragement, your kindness and generosity will be deeply appreciated.

Every donation brings us one step closer to helping Erin on her road to recovery. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support Erin. Together, we can provide her with the love, strength, and resources she needs to overcome these obstacles and emerge stronger than ever.
