Help for the Nixon family in honor of Dawn

Updated Post 1/1/2024

Dawn Ouellette Nixon has passed away peacefully on December 31, 2023. She was 51 years old. Matthew Nixon, who took care of her until the very end, has written these words,

“It’s with great sorrow and a heavy heart I have to write this. Dawn passed away peacefully this morning surrounded by her family. It was my great honor to have her in our home surrounded by loved ones as she took her journey. Dawn and her beautiful soul will be deeply missed. Words can’t describe how grief stricken we are so Please give us time to process this tragic loss. Thank you for all the continued love and support from friends and family.”

We, her loyal friends, would like to continue to raise money to help her family, medical, funeral expenses for Matt and for their beautiful 2 kids future, and anything else they need to make this very difficult time a little easier. Please donate and help us reach our goal. Thank you.

On behalf of Dawn and her family, we want to say thank you to all who have donated, shared and prayed during this difficult time. Since her diagnosis of stage 4 breast cancer in March, Dawn had sustained some broken bones (due to bone metastasis), had surgery to repair them as well as a hip replacement. She remained in the hospital for a couple of weeks to recover and go through rehab. Despite this setback, she has decided to try treatment for her cancer and being so young doctors want to give her this fighting chance. She is home now resting and will be undergoing radiation starting Monday, April 24th. Because she is home, she needs a full-time caregiver and also a special vehicle to accommodate a wheelchair to transport her to the hospital for radiation treatment.

When we first started the gofundme, she was going home for hospice, but now that she will undergo treatment, with all the tremendous costs involved... surgeries, caregiver, wheelchair accessible transportation etc, we decided to raise the goal amount in hopes to give the family relief and one less thing to worry about. It has been a long, emotional and stressful month.

If you know Dawn, you know that she has the kindest heart and always put others first. We hope you can share this update with others and we can hopefully raise more money to help this family in need. Thank you.
