Please Help Julie Parente and Her Family
Donation protected
Please help us to raise support for our friend and co-worker, Julie Parente. Julie is a single, loving mother of three children, Jiyell, Kody, and Shayne. She is bravely fighting a battle with cancer that has been so devastating that she is no longer able to work and provide for her family or pay the enormous amount of medical bills her illness has created. She is frequently in and out of the hospital for surgeries and is undergoing chemotherapy.
Julie is a strong and humble woman who has spent her professional career helping those in need. She has worked at HELP Suffolk for 18 years, and has been a champion, finding housing for so many families and children experiencing homelessness. Julie's family is struggling to make ends meet, her children are stepping up as best they can, but they are young and need support.
Please consider making a donation today, every one counts. As a community, we can rally around this family as Julie continues to fight her battle and strives to care for her family.
