My uncle James was a kind soul, born on May 8th, 1974, who touched the lives of everyone he met. He was known for his caring and loving personality, always ready with a warm smile and a helping hand. Those who knew him cherished his presence, and his loss has left a deep void in our family and community. 
<br>
<br>
 James battled kidney disease with incredible strength and grace, but sadly, he passed away recently. We are now facing the difficult task of saying goodbye and honoring his memory in a way that reflects the love he gave so freely. The costs of the funeral, casket, and burial plot are more than our family can manage alone, and we are reaching out for support during this challenging time. 
<br>
<br>
 If you knew James or have ever been touched by his kindness, I invite you to help us give him the farewell he deserves. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated. Thank you for your support and for helping us celebrate the life of a truly remarkable person.

Stand With Luisa: A Grandmother of 6 Fighting Stage 4 Cancer

My name is Kelsey Ramalho, and I’m writing this on behalf of my incredible mom, Luisa.

Our mom is 59 years old, a proud grandmother of 6 beautiful grandchildren, and the strongest woman we know. For over 20 years, she worked as a stone mason — doing physically demanding work with strength, determination, and pride. She has never been afraid of hard work.

But her greatest work has always been her family.

She raised her children as a single mother in Rye, NY so we could have access to a good education and better opportunities. She sacrificed everything to make sure we had stability, safety, and a future. There were times she struggled, but she never let us feel it.

And even when she herself had very little, she never turned her back on anyone. She has opened her home to those who were homeless. She has fed people when she barely had enough. She has always been the one who says “yes” when someone needs help.

Now, she is the one who needs help.

Mom has been diagnosed with Stage 4 stomach cancer along with bile duct cancer. What started as nausea and stomach discomfort quickly turned into hospital visits, procedures, drains, and devastating news no family is ever prepared to hear.

She now faces ongoing treatments, medical procedures, and daily physical challenges. Simple things like eating, walking, or resting comfortably can be exhausting. Yet through all of it, she remains hopeful, strong, and focused on her children and grandchildren. Who She Is, Our mom is more than a diagnosis.

She is a mother of two  Kelsey, and Jean who devoted her life to raising us with strength and love.
She is a grandmother of 6 who shows up with pride and warmth for every grandchild.
She is a woman who built with stone for 20 years and built a family with even greater strength.
She is someone who helped the homeless even when she herself was struggling.

She has spent her entire life lifting others up.

Now we are asking for help to lift her up.   Why We Are Asking for Help

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body — it impacts every part of life.

Because of her illness, our mom is unable to work. The medical bills, copays, prescriptions, biliary drain supplies, transportation to appointments, and basic living expenses are adding up quickly.

We are hoping to raise $20,000 to help cover:
	•	Medical copays and treatment costs
	•	Prescriptions and ongoing medications
	•	Biliary drain supplies and medical equipment
	•	Transportation to and from appointments
	•	Household bills and daily living expenses

This support will allow her to focus on healing instead of worrying about financial stress.

With love and hope,
Kelsey Ramalho

Stand With Luisa: Fighting Stage 4 Cancer

<div>It is with unimaginable heartbreak that we share the sudden passing of our beloved Mary Lou Blume. Mary Lou was truly one of a kind—a character in her own beautiful way. A proud Irish woman with a spirit that could light up any room, she showed up for everyone and everything. If someone needed her, she didn’t hesitate—she was already there.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Mary Lou came from a big, proud family of 13 children, all born and raised right here in our community. Through every triumph and heartbreak, she remained a true matriarch. Even after losing her beloved sisters and brother, she continued to stand tall, facing every challenge with grace, confidence, and a strength that inspired all who knew her.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>She was a loving grandmother and great-grandmother, a devoted mother to her daughter Heidi, and a beautiful spirit that any niece, nephew, friend, or even foe could call upon for help. She loved her people fiercely—often more than she cared for herself. If you knew Mary Lou, you know that these words barely scratch the surface of the woman she truly was.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As we begin the painful process of planning her services, our only wish is to give her the dignity, peace, and honor she so deeply deserved. Due to financial hardship, our family is asking our community for help. Any contribution—no matter the amount—will help us lay Mary Lou to rest with the grace she earned every day of her life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And if you cannot contribute, we understand completely. We just ask that you please keep Mary Lou and our family in your prayers during this devastating time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We love and appreciate every one of you—whether you donate, pray, share, or simply hold her memory close.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With love,

</div>

<div>The Blume Family

In Memory of Mary Lou Blume: Your Support Needed

<div>Hi everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Kelsey, and I’m raising funds for my mom, Luisa. She’s been courageously battling stage 4 metastatic cancer since 2023. After undergoing life-changing surgery to remove her stomach, she’s had to relearn how to nourish her body and stay strong, all while enduring ongoing chemotherapy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, things have become even more difficult. She hasn’t been able to work due to treatment and severe fatigue. Getting to doctor’s appointments, keeping up with rent, and affording everyday essentials like groceries and gas has become overwhelming. Right now, my biggest fear is that she could lose her home while still undergoing chemo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom has always been the kind of person who gives to others before herself. Even now, she continues to create handmade macrame and crafts, pouring her heart into each piece. She’s been trying to sell them when she feels well enough - it’s one of the few things that brings her joy and a sense of purpose during this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>If you’re not in a position to donate but still want to help, please consider supporting her by purchasing one of her handmade pieces</strong>. You can message me directly, and I’ll share what she has available. Every bit of support whether it’s a donation, a purchase, or even just sharing this page means the world to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for lifting my mom up during such a hard season. Your kindness truly makes a difference!
</div>
