Help For Maureen

UPDATE TO MOM'S STORY....

In the summer of 2023, the City of Sparks procured a contractor at a rate not to exceed $10,000, to determine if Sparks Fireman/Paramedic Tim Egan, had violated city protocol for assaulting our mom. The report was delivered to the City of Sparks in the fall of 2023, by Chris Darcy of Fairfax Consulting Group in Las Vegas. When I (her daughter) made a Public Records Request to the City of Sparks, the City denied it. This required I sue the City of Sparks for violating the Nevada Public Records Act. I prevailed and received a copy of the report. The report demonstrated numerous Sparks agencies had lied about Tim Egan's assault upon my mother, and how they chose to handle it post-assault. Virtually everyone who touched it, was guilty of violating my mothers rights. The full report is available to read here: Fairfax Consulting Report

In the meantime, mom's health continues to decline and it remains to be seen if the City of Sparks has the moral fortitude and courage to make right the despicable wrongs perpetrated upon mom. Please continue to keep mom in your hearts and prayers that justice will prevail. She will be 86 years old in July.

WHO IS MAUREEN?

Maureen Hvegholm is a mom, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to animals. She will be 85 years old in July.

A BRUTAL ATTACK

On December 8, 2022, around 2:20 p.m., Maureen was assaulted in a public alleyway behind her home in Sparks, Nevada, by a Sparks Fireman/Paramedic. The assault occurred as she laid out a cardboard box for shelter and food for several feral cats she has tended to for years. Maureen has lived in this neighborhood for roughly 17 years and in this time she has been a caretaker of animals and the occasional homeless person who frequents this alley. This is an old part of Sparks and most people have moved from this area, leaving it for shinier neighborhoods.

It was a brutal attack and we should warn you it is difficult to watch as this 84-year-old woman bounces off the concrete pavement.

Maureen survives on roughly $1500 in monthly social security benefits and often the assistance of her children to help offset basic living expenses. So it is understandable that Maureen was both startled and distressed when the man began grabbing items she purchased with her limited funds to throw them in the garbage dumpster. It was cruel.

We suggest you watch the video in full-screen view, paying attention to the upper left corner of your screen.

WHY A GOFUNDME?

As a result of the assault, Maureen's life changed in an instant. She is experiencing whole-body nerve pain, severe migraines, confusion, balance problems/dizziness, anxiety, and sleeplessness. Since the attack, she has fallen twice in her home hitting her face, and requiring urgent care visits. She is suffering from chronic pain and has seen numerous doctors and undergone tests and pain injections, some of them highly painful for a person of her age.

Donations through this GoFundMe campaign will be applied to assist Maureen in numerous ways all intended to improve her quality of life as she enters her 85th year.

We ask that you share Maureen's story to raise awareness of the importance of standing up for the disenfranchised and marginalized among us.
