Sean Bruin Family Fundraiser

Donation protected
Sean Bruin, loving husband and father of six, was diagnosed with a brain tumor sixteen years ago. Since then, Sean has undergone two brain surgeries, the first in 2003 and the second in 2013 after regrowth was detected. After the second surgery Sean underwent intense chemo, radiation and physical therapy and doctors have been keeping a close watch on the tumor with regular MRI's and doctor visits.  Just before Thanksgiving we had the unfortunate news that Sean's tumor is back and is more aggressive. The symptoms have been more severe this time, leaving Sean unable to work or drive.  

On December 13th, Sean began aggressive chemo treatments that will be ongoing.  And although Sean is on disability and Tracee began working full time at the kids' school, medical bills and daily expenses will be ongoing and escalating with the uncertainty of what Medicare will cover. 

We wanted to start this fundraiser with the hope that we can help alleviate some of the daily stressors and monetary burdens Sean and Tracee will endure while Sean continues to fight this battle.

Any donation, of any size, is so greatly appreciated. 

We could not get through this without all our wonderful family and friends who have been so supportive and gracious throughout the years. If you could please keep Sean and the entire Bruin family in your prayers, we would be so grateful. 

With all our love,

The Bruin, Reidy, and Ruddy Families
