Support Christine's Battle Against Glioblastoma

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,

Christine and her family recently received devastating news: she has been diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. What began as a few weeks of migraines and nausea led to the discovery of a tumor on her frontal lobe. Christine was rushed to Mass General Hospital, where she underwent a bifrontal craniotomy to remove as much of the tumor as possible.

The next steps in her journey will include extensive radiation and chemotherapy.

For anyone who knows Christine, you know her world revolves around her two beautiful girls, Kaia and Zara. With the unwavering love and support of her husband Gary, who is taking time off work to be by her side, their focus is now entirely on Christine’s health and recovery.

Christine has spent over 20 years caring for children as the world’s most loving and fun nanny. Those lucky enough to have been in her care will remember endless adventures, art projects, dance parties, and her remarkable ability to bring joy to every moment. Her calm presence, kindness, and laughter have touched countless lives.

Now, it’s our turn to care for her.

During this challenging and uncertain time, we’re asking for your support to help Christine and her family. Your donation—no matter the size—will go toward medical expenses, treatment costs, and everyday needs, allowing them to focus on what truly matters: healing, hope, and making cherished memories together.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the love, prayers, and support so many have already shared. Christine and her family are deeply grateful for the strength of this incredible community surrounding them.

With love and gratitude,
Kerin & Tracey (Christine's sisters)
