Help Diane with Medical Bills
Donation protected
I met Diane Newman as a paraprofessional at Fairview Early Childhood Center. She is a fun, vivacious, strong woman with quick wit and who has an incredible positive attitude. She and her husband have been caring for her non-ambulatory/non-verbal daughter for years in their rented home. Her husband received a terminal diagnosis of cancer recently and quickly and unexpectedly passed away at much too young of an age just after buying their own home. He was a revered farmer in his community. Diane and Wes would honestly give you the shirt off their back. Diane has been a crafter for many years and given hundreds of items to charity. She created weighted blankets because she knew how important they were for special needs children and donated many to families. She's a quilter and made many t-shirt quilts for others. Diane is synonymous with kindness and generosity. She went on to other programs such as Page Park, Montessori and Auburn High School working with special needs students in Rockford , Illinois. She has always been an advocate for children and especially connected with families.
It's time for others to help Diane and her family in her hour of need.
She is humble and my prayer is that we are able to gather a sum of money to help her and her daughter, Melissa as they meet medical bills and upcoming expenses and navigate life without Wes by her side.
Thank you in advance for YOUR generosity!
