If you know Marlene, you know her heart.

She is the person who shows up. The one who brings the meal, makes the call, remembers the birthday, offers the ride, and quietly helps without ever expecting anything in return. For a lifetime, Marlene has taken care of everyone else.

Right now, she needs us.

Marlene’s beloved husband, Glen, is in the hospital facing multiple severe illnesses. The days have been filled with uncertainty, long hospital visits, emotional exhaustion, and heartbreaking conversations.

As Marlene travels back and forth to Toronto to be by Glen’s side, expenses are mounting — transportation, meals, parking — along with many unknown financial challenges that lie ahead.

During this unimaginably difficult time, we want Marlene to focus on what matters most: being with Glen, and taking care of herself. The last thing she should be worrying about is money.

After a lifetime of her generosity, compassion, and quiet service to others, this is our chance to rally around her.

If you are able, please consider making a donation — no amount is too small. And if you can’t give financially, sharing this page and keeping Marlene and Glen in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.

Let’s surround Marlene with the same love and support she has so freely given to so many of us.

Thank you for being part of her circle of care.
