Support Annmarie's Family After John's Passing

Donation protected
As many of you know, Annmarie has been an absolute PILLAR of strength over the last two and a half years. Her husband, John Michael, was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a very aggressive cancer with a very aggressive treatment schedule. She was thrust into the role of single mom/caretaker almost overnight with a MUCH heavier emphasis on both a year into treatment when the chemo stopped working and the cancer began to spread with a vengeance, like only cancer can.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I report that her husband lost his fight on Sept. 14th, 2024 after battling courageously with everything he had for two and a half years. Annmarie, a teacher, now starts a new journey as the sole parent for four very young children (ages 4-10), heavy with grief, medical debt, and the fear of the unknown. How she is even standing, I don't know, but the woman just. keeps. moving, but she's exhausted and stressed beyond belief--and she needs your help.

Please help Annmarie cover funeral costs, medical bills, and the never-ending grocery/food bills during this unprecedented time for her and her family. No amount is too small and no amount of "shares" is too big. We need anything and everything you've got--let's pull out all the stops. Annmarie, Johnny, Adeline, Joey, and Annelise thank you for your generous donations which will allow them to focus on grieving and healing instead of stressing about money and bills. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Thank you.
