Support for Brenda Miner's Family

For Brenda Miner of Belfast, Maine:

A Beloved Wife, Mother, and Grandmother

This has all been happening so fast, so I am trying to get this out to the Mid-Coast Maine community ASAP! Please help spread the word to help this amazing family deal with this unexpected, tragic struggle! They also need to find childcare!! -Jared

Brenda Miner, a pillar of strength and love in her family, resides in Belfast, Maine, her home and favorite place on earth, where, with limited time left, she wants to die.

Her life has been a testament to love and dedication. Married to her teenage sweetheart, Anthony, for 34 years, they have journeyed through life's ups and downs together, creating a beautiful family with their son, Anthony Jr., and three cherished grandchildren.

Brenda has cared for many people, friends, and family in need, some through their last days; now, we'd like to help her and her amazing family.

In recent years, Brenda and Anthony embarked on a new adventure, establishing a family business, CRM: Cleaning, Repair, Maintenance (named for their three grandchildren Ceci, Rae-Rae, and Mason), alongside their son, Anthony Jr., and daughter-in-law, Kristen.

This business became a source of livelihood and a shared dream for the entire family. Everyone was a part of it, working for happy clients while switching off on childcare duty for the new baby boy and two lovely girls, three and six.

Tragically, Brenda's vibrant life took an unexpected turn. Diagnosed with fast-moving cancer, her health deteriorated rapidly, leaving her in a critical condition and life-flighted to Portland, where Anthony sits by her side.

Despite initial optimism following a cancer screening, the disease progressed aggressively, affecting her lungs and bones.

Today, Brenda is fighting for her life, with complications that may give her very little time left. She is supported by her devoted husband and surrounded by the love of her family, who are staying strong and hoping that she may defy the doctor's dire prognosis.

As they face this harrowing journey, the Miner family continues to uphold their business commitments, balancing the demands of work and the needs of their young children, desperately trying to find child care and hold their commitments together. Her husband, Anthony, is at her bedside, while Anthony Jr. and Kristen work hard to balance childcare and their business alone.
