Support Dave O’Hearn's Fight Against Cancer

Support Dave O’Hearn: A Beacon of Strength and Compassion

Life threw an unexpected challenge at Dave, a beloved father and friend. Recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Dave, a 47-year-old single dad, is facing a battle that none of us could have anticipated. With three wonderful daughters—Maddie, 21; Riley, 19; and Kendall, 17, who is a junior in high school—Dave has always been a pillar of strength and love for his kids. His dedication to his family is matched only by his devotion to his work.

Dave's story is one of resilience and passion. As a 1995 graduate of Methuen High School and captain of the varsity hockey team, Dave's leadership and sportsmanship were evident from an early age. His journey continued through a postgraduate year at Winchendon and on to Elmira College, where he further honed his skills both on and off the ice. After graduating in 2000, Dave channeled his energies into making a difference in the lives of others.

For over 20 years, Dave has worked tirelessly as a guidance counselor at St. Ann’s Home and Methuen High School. His role has been more than just a job; it’s his calling. He has dedicated his career to supporting children facing mental health challenges and learning disabilities, offering them guidance and hope when they need it most. His impact on countless lives is a testament to his big heart and unwavering commitment.

Now, as Dave and his family navigate this difficult journey, they are in need of our support. The road ahead involves significant medical treatments and care that can be both physically and financially draining. This is where we, as a community, can step in and make a meaningful difference.

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to Dave, supporting medical expenses and providing financial relief for his family during this trying time. Your contributions will help cover the costs of treatment, medication, and any additional care Dave needs to fight this battle. They will also offer some respite to his daughters, who are facing this challenge with incredible bravery and strength.

Dave has given so much to others throughout his life. Now, it’s our turn to give back to him. Your support, whether big or small, will provide crucial relief and show Dave and his family that they are not alone in this fight. Together, we can help them focus on what truly matters—healing, hope, and the love that binds them.

Thank you for joining us in this effort. Your kindness and generosity mean the world to Dave and his family.
