SUPPORT JENNY IN HER BATTLE WITH CANCER

To know Jenny DiPietro is to know (that she is) a ray of sunshine - a bright light in more lives and in more ways than we can count. If you don’t know Jenny, you’re missing out! Believe us when we say that she is an EXTRAORDINARY woman. Her selflessness and altruistic nature are noteworthy. Her dimply smile infectious. Her positivity inspiring. Her exuberance and zest for life are beautiful. At 45 years old, she shines brightest to her 4 children, who in spite of being quite independent given their young ages, need their mom nonetheless.

Jenny was diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2019. She got through it. She was cancer free for 3 years. On Friday November 3rd 2023, Jenny received news from her Oncologist that her cancer has returned. This time, it has metastasized. The cancer has spread to her lymph nodes and lungs.

On Monday November 20th, Jenny will begin a treacherous course of chemotherapy and immunotherapy. If you’ve ever known someone that has been touched by cancer, you’ll have a better idea of what lays ahead for her and her family (although every case is different). Much will fall on the shoulders of her husband Paul. The kids will help. There is no denying that the burden will be heavy. It will be exhausting for all of them.

When someone as rare and special as Jenny DiPietro is diagnosed with something as awful as cancer for the second time in 3 years, we can’t help but wonder why. Since we have no possible way of answering that, the question we are left asking ourselves next is: What can we do to help? How can we give her (and her family of 6) a fighting chance to get through this with as little suffering as humanly possible given the gravity of their circumstances?

Although we may have feelings of powerlessness over her trajectory, there ARE some ways we can make this easier on the entire DiPietro family. For the select few that are in their tight inner circle, that may include giving of their time, providing hot meals, a drive to chemo, moral support, help around the house etc. For the many that have been on the receiving end of Jenny’s numerous philanthropic contributions, this could mean giving back. For those who can empathize with the situation (and we truly hope that applies to EVERYONE reading this), it might mean providing financial assistance to help this beautiful family in their time of need.

Please know that ANY support whatsoever will be appreciated beyond measure.

With gratitude,

Jenny’s Bond Head Friends & Neighbors
