Sauer Family Assistance

Hi, my name is Lori Petramale-Ozores. I have had the pleasure of being a friend of Mary Sauer's for over 23 years. We worked together at the Kingston Hospital and she has been my mammography technologist for a better part of that time. Mary and a group of ladies that worked together at the hospital (The Sisterhood... as we jokingly refer to ourselves) have remained friends although most of us have moved on to new jobs - always there - always supporting each other in good and bad times. Mary is now at River Radiology, so many of you will know her from being one of her patients ... many will know her as a wonderful co-worker and friend.

 

On behalf of of the Sisterhood (Mary Butta, Lynn Vromann, Cathy Chain, Cindy Bell, Sara Farrell, Louise Vanacore and myself), we would first ask you to pray for our Mary and her family.

 

Mary was admitted to the hospital in mid October suffering from COVID-19. She is still in the ICU and is not responding well to treatments. If you know her - you know that she is worried about her family and loved ones more than herself. She is truly one of the most selfless people I know. Always putting others before herself. Always with a smile, an uplifting story, a hug or a prayer if you needed it! She is a woman of deep faith and shares her love and spirituality with those she knows.

 

It's our time to pay it forward. Last week Mary's father-in-law sadly passed away from COVID-19. We want to help the family with medical and living expenses, as Mary's income was a large part of the family finances. Mary has a wonderful husband Joe, and three boys, Matthew, Adam and Michael. She also is a grandma of four with another on the way.

 

Please donate what you can, every little bit will help. The Sauer Family is facing a huge financial burden, as they are still recovering from a devastating cancer diagnosis of their granddaughter last year. Help us to give this family piece of mind - so that they can concentrate on healing - and not worry about losing their home, paying household expenses or becoming inundated with medical bills.  We are all struggling in this post pandemic time - but we can always find gratitude in our lives and know we ARE truly blessed.

 

Again, please keep Mary and her family in your thoughts and prayers... and do what you can to help. God Bless You.
