Let's Get Patty to the Mayo Clinic

Donation protected

Hi, my name is Maureen and I am fundraising for an amazing friend. She is a former classmate, Friend, a Mother to Cailtin, Aunt, Sister, and so much more. Patty has been battling Cancer for 10 years. It started as Breast cancer and has moved to her bones, lymph nodes, liver and now her brain. She has undergone 40 of the possible 41 trials and she has hopes of getting to the Mayo Clinic. In October she had a brain bleed and underwent Brain surgery. She has given so much of her time, helping others, when her sister passed she help raise her minor children, not withstanding losing her amazingly strong Mother (Delia O'Keefe, Co. Mayo) and Father (Michael O'Keefe, Co Down), her sister (Chrissy Bilbo), and one of her nieces, Meagan Bilbo who was taken tragically. It's time that we help this woman get to where she needs to be. Patty is the eternal optimist and this is her desired wish. Since she is immuno-compromised, she has been able to work from home but even that is a challenge. She financially needs to continue to work for insurance and to pay her monthly bills. She can not just quit her job. FMLA does not pay her to stay home. She financially needs our help to take FMLA and afford the Mayo Clinic trial. Can we support Patty in her need? Please share with former classmates, friends, or any organization that might be able to help us get Patti to the Mayo Clinic.

The Photo shared was from Patty's gamma knife tumor surgery.
