Support for Nurse Doreen Tay
Donation protected
AN OUTSTANDING NURSE, MOTHER, AND WIFE.
We are here to celebrate Doreen Tay. Not just for the grand memories she left her patients, her church, and her family, but for all the great suffering she’s endured in her life by her selfless nature. We celebrate a rare gem, and a gift to us all.
Doreen was a Ghanaian-born Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who worked full-time at Montefiore Medical Center, and part-time at Throgs Neck Rehabilitation & Nursing Center.
She graduated from Jersey College in 2017.
Doreen was a Christian woman of faith who sang gloriously in her Church Choir at McOlives Ministries for several years.
She fell ill on March 14; and visited the hospital to be admitted to Albert Einstein at Montefiore Medical Center. While there, she contracted coronavirus and within a relatively short period of time, passed away – on April 21, 2020. She was 43 years old.
Doreen left behind a husband of 14 years and two kids – Rachel and Derron, both 13 and 11 years old.
We thank God for her life.
If there was a formula for life, where good, generous, kind people lived on forever, Doreen would surely be one of them – but sadly, there isn’t. We all move on. We leave this world and embrace what the next has for us. In leaving however, we leave behind all our loved ones – and the only lingering resemblance of life left for anyone to hold on to, are the shared memories. Fortunately, Doreen left us a lot of that.
As a woman of God, she reminded us of how selfless and purposeful we should live.
At work, her patients were her only priority, and she provided them with the utmost in nursing care to ensure their safety and well-being. In doing so, she challenged her co-workers to also strive for high standards.
But Doreen was first, and foremost a family woman who loved her husband and kids dearly. They’ll remember the many birthdays she celebrated with them, the countless hours she spent helping with homework, and the sweet sound of her voice at night while she read them the bible, and sang them to sleep. But more than anything, they’ll remember how it feels to be loved by a mother, and a wife. Though they’ll never understand the sacrifices she’s made for them, they’ll be a living reminder of all her goodness.
Doreen captured the hearts of everyone she came across.
But unfortunately, her death also leaves the family with some grave concerns.
Our hope is to generate enough money to help with her funeral expenses, and to provide for her kids as generously as God wills. Your gift, in whatever amount, will go a long way to ease their concerns, and help them cope with this crisis.
Our goal is to raise as much as possible within 2 weeks.
All funds will be turned over to the family.
God Bless!
