Our beloved Susan Rubino— devoted wife, mother, and grandmother—received a life-changing diagnosis on February 8. The very next day, she underwent emergency surgery, and our worst fears were confirmed: Susan was diagnosed with Gliosarcoma, an extremely rare and aggressive form of stage 4 brain cancer.

My mother is a fighter, but her battle is far from over. She faces ongoing health challenges and extensive medical treatments. Her journey includes frequent trips to Albany Medical Center, where she receives critical care and treatment.

As Susan focuses on her health, the financial burden of medical expenses and travel costs has become overwhelming. We are reaching out to friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers to ask for your support. Your generous donations will help cover medical bills and treatments not covered by insurance, travel expenses to and from Albany Medical Center, appointments with specialists at Memorial Sloan Kettering, and additional care and support to help Susan during this difficult time.

Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a significant impact. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your network can also make a tremendous difference.

Thank you for your support, prayers, and love during this challenging journey. Together, we can help Susan fight this battle and show her that she is not alone.
