Cathy Roemer Family

On June 6, Cathy Roemer suffered a brain aneurysm while on vacation in Tanzania.  She was airlifted to a hospital in Nairobi where she remains critically ill.  Her husband, David, and their two sons, Matthew and Neil, are with Cathy in Nairobi.  The family is staying in the Silver Springs hotel directly across the street from Nairobi Hospital to be close to Cathy and to be at her side within minutes should they be needed, and in between regular visiting hours.  At present, there is no projection as to the length of Cathy’s stay in Nairobi.  With international flights, an indeterminate length of stay in Kenya, and future unpredictable expenses, the cost to the family will be significant. We are raising funds to help defray these travel, lodging, and other medical costs not covered by insurance so David, Neil and Matthew can remain in Africa close to Cathy.

Cathy is beloved member of the Notre Dame family. She loves to travel, and she was excited to make this trip to Africa with her husband, sister and brother in law. Please consider a donation to help her family remain close to her during this scary and difficult time.

An anonymous donor has graciously offered to match funds donated up to $15,000 personally!
