Barbara Williams, a beloved figure in the Long Island ice hockey and skating community, has always been deeply dedicated to her students, families, friends, and the community at large. She is known for her unwavering commitment and quick response to any unfortunate situation, always bringing people together to lend a helping hand. Every day, she encourages others to send prayers of hope, health, and healing to those in need.

Now, it’s our turn to come together and support Barbara.

Barbara, a renowned power skating coach who trained numerous NHL players, continued her coaching journey across the island until very recently. Unfortunately, she suffered a medical emergency that has sidelined her from the ice for an unknown period. As her sole source of income, Barbara is struggling to cover her medical bills and daily expenses.

Barbara’s impact on our lives is immeasurable, and we want to show her how much she means to us. We are reaching out to the hockey and skating community to unite and demonstrate our love and appreciation for her. No donation, no matter how small, is too little. If you are unable to contribute financially, we kindly ask that you send her healing prayers, as she has done for many of us over the years.

All funds raised will be directly donated to Barbara, ensuring she receives the support she needs during this difficult time. I will be transferring all the funds to her via check.

We truly appreciate your help and support in this effort. Thank you all for your generosity and compassion.
