Dawn is the daughter of deceased Newark, NJ Firefighter Joe Alfano.
She is 45 years old and has been diagnosed as having Lymphoma B with tumors on her lung and pancreas.  Her health insurance company recently went bankrupt and has failed to pay most of her medical expenses.  She is also in need of a hospital bed as she cannot lie flat due to the location of the tumors and has difficulty breathing, and sleeping. She is on oxygen now and being  evaluated, and tested, for a treatment regiment.  
We ask that all of our fellow Firefighter families, and friends, do what they can to help her mom, Jeanie Alfano, through this very difficult time.  Whatever you can spare will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
