Hi everyone,

We’re reaching out on behalf of an incredible woman, mother, and beloved member of our small-town community — Mary Bartunek.

Mary is the kind of person who makes a lasting impression on everyone she meets. For years, she’s been running a local daycare out of her home, caring for dozens of children with patience, love, and laughter. Her warm heart and selfless nature have touched so many families in our town.

Now, she needs our help.

Mary was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She’s just finished an exhausting round of chemotherapy and is now undergoing radiation treatments. Through it all, she’s remained incredibly strong and hopeful — but as you can imagine, the medical bills and everyday expenses have started piling up.

Between the cost of treatments, medications, travel to appointments, and time away from work, the financial burden has become overwhelming. We’re hoping to rally support from friends, family, and our extended community to help ease the stress so Mary can focus on what matters most: healing.

Any donation — big or small — will make a huge difference. And if you can’t give right now, please consider sharing this campaign with others who may be able to help.

Let’s show Mary that she’s not alone in this fight. Together, we can give back to someone who’s given so much of herself to others.

With love and gratitude,

Debra Goehring & Heather Schiller
