Jason, Renee & Lucy Fishner Fund

Donation protected
UPDATE  May 14 2018
 
It is with broken hearts that we share that Jason passed away peacefully this morning from a sudden brain hemorrhage caused by the tumor he was diagnosed with last week. Jason was surrounded by his wife Renee, mother Debra, father Allen, and brother Kevin. As we take in this shocking, tragic news, we ask that in lieu of flowers to contribute to this fund. It is dedicated to his daughter Lucy’s education and childcare. Lucy is 3 going on 4 a ray of sunshine, full of life and potential.

On Monday, May 7th, Renee Fishner came home from playing at the park with Lucy (3) to find her husband, Jason, home from work and suffering from a debilitating headache.  Jason was rushed by ambulance to SVMC where an initial scan showed an abnormal mass in Jason's brain. Jason was transferred to Albany Medical Center where a biopsy was conducted. Although the surgery confirmed that the tumor is inoperable, the Fishners remain optimistic about treatment options and their commitment to get Jason back to 100%! Right now, the Fishners are waiting for more specifics on the diagnosis and what Jason’s treatment road will entail. Both Jason and Renee are feeling confident and comfortable with Jason’s doctor, Dr. Tyler Kenning.

This fund is to help alleviate any financial strain that the Fishners may experience due to missed time from work, childcare, travel and other related expenses.
