James Trase Fund

Ok, this is a rough one here.  Jim Trase, born and raised in East Longmeadow, a current Hampden resident and employee of Hampden County Sheriffs Dept has just been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.   It's hard to imagine the emotional devastation Jim, his best friend and love, Joanne De cesare Soares, his 3 boys, mom and dad and the many friends are experiencing at this time.  Jim and his family have a rough road ahead paved in emotional turmoil, exhaustion, loss of wages, time away from family and financial worries.  Anything you can spare will be used to offset medical costs, travel, and costs associated with his family being able to be by his side as much as possible.  Immediate help, is greatly appreciated to help this family not worry about finances during a time when they most need to be able to be together and give support to Jim and to help Jim to focus on only one thing and that is to battle this terrible disease. Please consider a donation in any amount.
