**Help Kathleen Schroeder Fight Kidney Cancer – A Greatwood Neighbor Needs Us Now**

Our hearts are heavy as we share the story of **Kathleen Schroeder**, a beloved longtime resident of Greatwood who has always been the first to lend a hand, share a smile, or brighten someone’s day. Today, Kathleen needs *our* help more than ever.

On **June 2, 2025**, what started as a kidney infection quickly became a nightmare. Kathleen has only **one kidney**, making this illness especially alarming. For months, she battled persistent symptoms, enduring countless doctor visits and tests with her kidney specialist. Then came the devastating diagnosis: **kidney cancer**.

Kathleen now faces a grueling journey of treatments, surgeries, and recovery — all while trying to hold her family together. As the **primary breadwinner**, her job in sales is **100% commission-based and requires constant travel**. With doctor’s orders to stop traveling, Kathleen **cannot work** — and with no income, she’s terrified about how she’ll pay bills, care for her children, or even focus on healing.

We’ve created this **GoFundMe** to rally around Kathleen and lift the financial burden so she can fight this battle with strength and hope. Every dollar will go directly toward:

- Medical bills and cancer treatments

- Mortgage, utilities, and daily living expenses

- Supporting her family through this uncertain time

**No donation is too small** — even $10 can help ease the weight on her shoulders. If you’re unable to give, please **keep Kathleen in your prayers**. Your messages of love and encouragement mean the world.

Kathleen is more than a neighbor — she’s a **devoted mother, a loving wife, and one of the kindest souls** you’ll ever meet. Let’s show her the same compassion she’s always shown us.

**Together, we can help Kathleen beat cancer and come home to her family stronger than ever.**

With gratitude,

Lisa Hardy
