<div>Our family is reaching out to ask for support for my mom, Patty Fish(Eck). She has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and has had to begin the difficult journey of treatment. Although it was caught early, she has a form of highly aggressive breast cancer called HER2+. She has just begun what will be a lengthy series of chemo treatments, which will be followed by surgery and then radiation and possibly more chemo.  The survival rate is very high if this intensive protocol is followed but it comes at a cost.

<div>As many of you know, my mom is a special educator who has dedicated her life to working with children and kids with special needs ranging from autism to adhd to learning disabilities. Her passion, patience, and endless compassion shine through in everything she does. She has always put others first, whether it’s her students, her family, or anyone who needs a helping hand. She is the kind of person that doesn’t think twice to step up for someone else and now she needs us to step up for her.

<div>Unfortunately, due to her compromised immune system from treatment, she is unable to be around children right now on a regular basis and has had to take a leave of absence from the job she loves. This means that on top of facing the challenges of cancer treatment, she is also facing the stress of medical bills and everyday living expenses without her usual income being available throughout her 6 month leave.

<div>My mom is one of the most selfless, caring, and kind-hearted people you could ever meet. She has spent her life giving to others, and now she needs our help. Every donation, big or small, will go directly to supporting her medical care, bills, and day-to-day needs while she focuses on healing.

<div>If you aren’t able to give financially, we completely understand and would be so grateful if you could share this page or just keep my mom in your thoughts. She is so  grateful for the beautiful gifts, gestures, and messages from friends, family, and her colleagues at Hartland Elementary School that she has received so far.

<div>My Mom is a fighter and I have no doubt she will handle this with grace as she does all things. Thank you for whatever form of support you can offer our family at this time.
