Friends for Fran
Many of you may know our amazing friend, Fran Goodell. She has worked in Valley View School District as a parapro for 11 years, 8 years at Pioneer Elementary and 3 at the Early Childhood Center. She has also held a second job in the community at Meijer, Kohl's, and at St. Francis as a CCD leader/volunteer. Fran is a widow and mother of 3 fabulous children, Emily (Lewis grad.), Nick (a junior at North Central College), and Samantha (a sophomore at Bradley University) all well recognized for the academic, athletic, and music talents throughout their time in the Valley View district. Fran’s husband, Tim, passed away 14 years ago from a brain tumor at the same time Fran was faced with breast cancer. Fran beat her cancer at that time, but unfortunately, learned in June that it had returned. After undergoing surgery this summer Fran began her chemo treatments. She recently finished treatment 4 of 6 and will finish the last one in December. In January, she will begin radiation followed by more surgeries. She is trying to keep a positive attitude and adjust to her new schedule of time at home, many doctor’s appointments, and volunteering at Feed My Starving Children. She has had to take a leave of absence from her job to avoid exposure to the many germs that are shared during this time of year so she can stay strong and defeat cancer once again. If you feel it in your heart to make a donation to help this kind, caring lady with medical expenses please connect to the Gofundme link attached. We understand if you aren’t able to donate financially but you can still help by keeping Fran and her family in your prayers. Please pray for them to stay strong and healthy so that Fran can kick cancer out of her life once again. Thank you for your support!!
