Help Mary Battle Cancer and Relieve Financial Stress
Donation protected
In September, our dear friend Mary Nunes O'Connor noticed something unusual—her stomach was growing despite losing weight. After several appointments, tests, and a biopsy in October, she received the devastating news: a cancerous mass was found on her ovary and spread to her abdomen. Mary has been diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer, and her doctors are acting quickly to begin treatment before it spreads further.
Mary has started chemotherapy as part of an aggressive treatment plan to give her the best chance of beating this disease. Unfortunately, this battle will require her to step away from work for several months, placing a heavy financial burden on her and her family during an already difficult time.
We are raising funds to support Mary and her loved ones, offering them some relief as they focus on her health. Mary is more than just a friend—she’s a mother, sister, wife, aunt, cousin, neighbor, and pillar of our community. Her kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others have touched the lives of so many. Now, it’s our turn to support her in this fight.
Every donation, big or small, will make a difference. Please consider contributing to help Mary and her family navigate this challenging journey with less financial stress. Together, we can show Mary the love and support she’s always shown to others.
Thank you for standing with Mary during this time. The outpouring of support has been tremendous. This is particularly a challenging time for their family, so every bit counts.
