Help Maureen's Fight Against Brain Cancer

Donation protected
This past December, traditionally a time of joy, Maureen, her husband Robert, and their two daughters received the devastating news that no young family should ever receive – Maureen was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer.

In addition to being a devoted wife and mother, Maureen has dedicated her life to helping others. She has worked at Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Chicago for the last 20 years, beginning as a nursing assistant while attending nursing school, and then as a nurse for many years now. She has created strong friendships and connections throughout the hospital and touched the lives of numerous patients. She has also spent the last 5 years as a home health nurse where she developed incredible bonds with her homebound patients.

She always greets everyone with an infectious smile and positive energy. Maureen exudes warmth and love to everyone she meets. While Maureen has spent her life caring for others, she is now the one in need of help and support.

Besides the overwhelming emotional strain facing Maureen, Robert, and their family, they will also be enduring significant medical and care expenses as Maureen fights her way through this challenge. Maureen holds the family’s health insurance and Robert is self-employed. We are asking for your generosity to help ease this burden on Maureen and her family. Your support will help cover medical bills and provide stability for Maureen and her loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

If you are able to donate, share, or simply keep Maureen and her family in your thoughts and prayers, we would be deeply grateful. Your kindness, love, and support mean more than words can express.

Este pasado mes de diciembre, tradicionalmente una época de alegría, Maureen, su esposo Robert y sus dos hijas recibieron una noticia devastadora que ninguna familia joven debería tener que enfrentar: a Maureen le diagnosticaron cáncer cerebral en etapa 4.

Además de ser una esposa y madre dedicada, Maureen ha entregado su vida a ayudar a los demás. Ha trabajado en el Hospital Shriner’s para Niños en Chicago durante los últimos 20 años, comenzando como asistente de enfermería mientras asistía a la escuela de enfermería, y luego como enfermera durante muchos años. A lo largo de este tiempo, ha creado fuertes amistades y conexiones dentro del hospital y ha tocado la vida de innumerables pacientes. También ha pasado los últimos 5 años como enfermera de atención domiciliaria, donde desarrolló vínculos increíbles con sus pacientes confinados en casa.

Siempre saluda a todos con una sonrisa contagiosa y una energía positiva. Maureen irradia calidez y amor a cada persona que conoce. Aunque Maureen ha pasado su vida cuidando de otros, ahora es ella quien necesita ayuda y apoyo.

Además de la abrumadora carga emocional que enfrentan Maureen, Robert y su familia, también deberán afrontar importantes gastos médicos y de cuidado mientras Maureen lucha contra este desafío. Maureen es quien tiene el seguro médico de la familia y Robert trabaja por cuenta propia. Les pedimos su generosidad para ayudar a aliviar esta carga para Maureen y su familia. Su apoyo ayudará a cubrir los gastos médicos y a brindar estabilidad a Maureen y a sus seres queridos durante este momento tan difícil.

Si pueden donar, compartir o simplemente mantener a Maureen y a su familia en sus pensamientos y oraciones, estaremos profundamente agradecidos. Su bondad, amor y apoyo significan más de lo que las palabras pueden expresar.
