<div>Alex was my best friend, and her loss has left a deep void in the lives of everyone who knew her. After a courageous five-year battle with ocular melanoma, a rare and aggressive cancer, Alex passed away with dignity, surrounded by love and comfort. She is survived by her devoted husband, Anthony, and their bright 7-year-old son, Hudson. The family is now facing the heavy burden of medical bills and the challenge of moving forward without her. Alex was a special education teacher who dedicated her life to reaching and inspiring young minds. She had a gift for connecting with children and making each one feel seen and valued. And most of all, she was an incredible mom—her love for Hudson was boundless, and she poured her heart into every moment with him. Whether it was helping with schoolwork, cheering him on at activities, or simply sharing quiet moments together, Alex’s devotion to her son was at the center of her world. She balanced her career and motherhood with grace, always putting her family first. Outside the classroom, Alex lived life to the fullest—traveling, cherishing every moment with her family and friends, and spreading joy wherever she went. Her kindness, strength, and passion touched everyone she met, and her absence is felt deeply by all who loved her. We are raising funds to help Anthony and Hudson through this incredibly difficult time. Your support will help cover immediate expenses, provide stability for their future, and honor Alex’s legacy of love and generosity. If you are able, please consider contributing or sharing this fundraiser. Every gesture of support means the world to us as we remember Alex and help her family find hope in the days ahead.

In Memory of Alex: Help Anthony and Hudson

(03/11/2030) UPDATE:  We’re moving on up! Back to the 10th floor (oncology) Evie’s surgery went well, they were able to remove 90% off the tumor (thank God). She is currently in the PICU recovering and Shell be moving up stairs today. They have started an aggressive treatment to combat her OMS, she’s done IVIG which will continue monthly for the next year. She is starting a steroids regiment to stop the her body from producing anti bodies. She has some more scans next week, to figure out what stage and where to go from here. Thank you all for your prayers and support. Well keep everyone updated as news comes in. You all have a special place in the behrens heart! Hi All, I am writing on behalf of a sweet 21 month old bay girl, Evie Behrens.  Evie is an absolute joy to have as a part of your world. She lights up the room anytime she comes barging in (and boy does she make an entrance). She can make the worst day into the best day with a simple head nod for more food. She loves to play outside and would live in the sand and water if you let her. She will eat everything including your finger if given the chance.  She will fake you out every time you ask her to blow a kiss, but will always share her food and toys through FaceTime. She is resilient, she's strong, and she's a fighter. Evie was recently diagnosed with Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS) and a Neuroblastoma on her spine. Evie’s tumor is malignant and located in the middle of her spine. The OMS and the location of her tumor are causing her to have motor difficulties, tremors, ataxia and rapid movements of her eyes. She is irritable and frustrated all the time. She can’t eat, sleep, or play normally. The three basic things a 21 month old should be loving right now. She has been in and out of the hospital for the last two weeks, she has been poked and prodded and in big scary loud MRI machines. Now she is finally scheduled for her first (and hopefully last) surgery today (March 9, 2020) to have this cancerous tumor removed. Afterward she will need to have chemo radiation to kill the cancerous cells and a year of steroid treatments to treat the OMS.  If you know Kristina &amp; Bob (Evie's parents) you know they are too proud to ask for help. Kristina &amp; Bob are 3 months pregnant with their second child and given the extensive medical treatments, impending surgery, and recovery, they will not be able to work for the next two months. They are accumulating hospitals bills, and were flat out unprepared for something of this magnitude shifting their lives. They need prayers, they need support and lets help them with some of their finances. We are hoping to raise $40,000 to help pay for Evie’s hospital bills and help them get through the next 2 months until they can get back to work and back on their feet. Any donation is greatly appreciated, if you choose not to donate please just spread the word about our sweet girl and keep her in your thoughts and prayers! #evieblastsherneuroblastoma

Help Evie blast her Neuroblastoma!

Charlie was diagnosed with a rare form of bile duct cancer shortly before Christmas, the diagnosis was unexpected as he had been admitted to the hospital for a different medical issue. The type of cancer he has cannot be cured.  After  Charlie sought a second opinion at Sloan Kettering in NY with the same prognosis, he &amp; Kathy returned to Virginia.  At their recent oncology appointment they were made aware that recent tests showed Chemo to extend his life was no longer an option . Now back in Virginia on Hospice, Charlie, Kathy and Joe are spending these final days dedicated to making the most of time together. The medical bills are increasing and as the family researches final expenses, it is obvious to all that additional financial support is critical to keep Charlie comfortable with the support of hospice and ensure Kathy &amp; Joe have the means to lay Charlie to rest when the time sadly approaches. We thank all their supporters and appreciate all the prayers.  Additional monetary contributions are so needed &amp; appreciated.If you are unable to contribute or have already done so, please share in hopes others can. We will be changing this fund to one that supports medical costs and final arrangements. We encourage everyone to continue to share!! Bless you all for your love and friendship! Thank you

Kimberly Tortorella (a long time resident of Kings Park, NY) was diagnosed with Leukemia on 9/4/2013. After having only 2 weeks to prepare for this extended hospital stay, Kim began her 6 weeks of intensive chemo therapy in an inpatient cancer facility at Stony Brook Hospital on 9/16/2013. Her biggest concern was her family (her Husband Jimmy, Son Robert 20, and her daughter Brianna 15). The doctor's advised her that her treatment is going to take 6 months at a minimum which will include several weeks of inpatient hospital stays. To make matters more difficult she will only be receiving partial disability for income during her treatment period. Her Family and friends have offered her an enormous amount of love and moral support. She has high spirits and is concentrating on her goal, becoming cancer free. During this time period we are asking our friends, family and community to come together to help Kim get through this trying time so that her only concern is to beat cancer.
