Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals,

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news that our beloved Elaine has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Further tests are underway to determine the primary source and outline the treatment plan, but what we do know is that Elaine faces a long and challenging road ahead.

Elaine is not just a friend, but a cornerstone of our community. For over 34 years, she has worked tirelessly as an education assistant, shaping the lives of countless students with her compassion, dedication, and expertise. In addition to her role in education, Elaine has been the heart and soul of the Family First program, coordinating efforts to support families in need. Her impact extends far beyond her professional work—Elaine is a well-loved, respected, and deeply caring individual who has always put others before herself.

Now, it’s our turn to support her.

As Elaine prepares to fight this battle, she will face mounting medical expenses, time away from work, and the emotional toll that comes with such a diagnosis. We are asking for your generosity to help ease her burden, so she can focus on her health and recovery. Your donations will go directly toward medical bills, treatment costs, and supporting Elaine and her family as they navigate this challenging journey.

Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in Elaine’s fight. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others to spread the word. Above all, we ask for your thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes for Elaine as she embarks on this difficult path.

Elaine has spent her life lifting up others. Now, it’s our turn to lift her up. Let’s show her the same love, kindness, and support that she has so selflessly given to so many of us.

Thank you for your generosity, your care, and your support.

With gratitude,


Patty Young,

(Elaine’s work bestie and number one fan)
