Frank's Road to Recovery
Donation protected
My name is John Kuenster and I am asking for your support to raise funds for my long-time friend, Frank Mauro, who is courageously battling cancer. For those lucky enough to know Frank, you understand what a blessing he is to be around. Frank consistently lightens and brightens any room he enters with his warm charm and infectious humor. For me, Frank is more than a friend, he is a shining example of how to be a good friend, father, husband, son and sibling.
Frank's journey with colorectal cancer began at the age of 43, when he underwent his first surgery in 2017. Unfortunately, this marked the start of his financial difficulties. Since experiencing a recurrence of the cancer three years ago, Frank has been unable to work due to the demanding treatments of chemotherapy, radiation, and other setbacks. Currently, he is recovering from a particularly challenging surgery he underwent in November. In order to provide him with the care he needs, Frank's wife, Kelly, has had to reduce her own work hours significantly. The healing process for Frank is expected to be lengthy, and he will require another surgery once he has recovered, which it is hoped will be the final one. At this time, any donations received will be utilized to cover their day-to-day expenses, supporting Frank, Kelly, and their two sons during this trying period order to provide him with the care he needs,
