Love For Mary

This has been established for our friend, aunt, daughter, sister, mother, aunt, and grandmother. Mary has been diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of breast cancer. On top of this she has recently lost her job and therefore has minimal insurance. Her husband Jim has recently retired and is working part time but that only provides him with insurance. Mary has 3 children and 2 grandchildren whom she adores. Mary and Jim are just at that point in life where they should be getting ready to sit back and enjoy all the hard work they've done both in the workforce and in raising 3 children. They should not be dealing with this horrible disease. They should not have to be facing these insurmountable financial burdens. They should not have to cry when thinking about their future. But they are dealing with it, they are facing these burdens, and they are crying. It shouldn't be like this... but it is. It's not fair, and they don't deserve it. They are going to fight. If you know Mary you know how stubborn she is. She wasn't raised to be a quitter. She and Jim should be laughing at the future with hopes and dreams. They have hopes of growing old together and dreams of more grandchildren.. Yet without help, these hopes and dreams will be difficult to achieve. Hopefully you haven't had to deal with cancer. Sure you've heard about it, may have had a friend or a friend's family member who had some form of cancer. But believe me, until it hits your family or loved one you cannot imagine the pain, stress and fear that cancer brings. Mary and Jim need your help as soon as possible. Anything helps....Help with the daily duties of life.... Food shopping, house cleaning etc. And of course money. They are obviously in a bad spot now and need whatever you can contribute. The fund is set at $5000 dollars but they'll certainly need more than that but we're setting small goals and once those goals are achieved we'll move to the next goal. That sounds like exactly what Mary is doing right now, to get thru each day. So please... Anything you can afford... Any way you can help.. Please do. It's nothing more than Mary and Jim would do for you.
Thank you so much!
P.S.I'm listing this as a team fundraiser in case anyone would like to share this and make their own team to add a little friendly competition to the fundraising!

A huge thank you to my niece Sam for coming up with this idea!
