Join Lauren's fight!

Donation protected
Over the past few years one of my oldest and dearest friends, Lauren Germinario Bailey, has been in treatment for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and other autoimmune issues including Rheumatoid arthritis


Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (also known as non-Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL, or sometimes just lymphoma) is a cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body’s immune system.  An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues

Lauren recently completed the 8th of 12 treatments for this round of Rituximab (targeted chemo) at Stony Brook Cancer Center .  This isn't the first round of treatment that she has been through, but we are hopeful it will be the last.  

Lauren has two amazing boys, Tristan and Gavin, whom she is raising.  They are great kids and have been incredibly strong through this entire ordeal.  Gavin is currently in 6th grade at North Country Road Middle School and Tristan is a freshman at Miller Place High School.


Due to her illness and related issues she has not been able to work full time for a number of months.  She has been attempting to support herself and cover these expenses by creating and selling some amazing glasswork and is now at the point where she is considering selling her tools and car as well.  The costs due to treatment and certain expenses for the boys that are not covered under any insurance are beginning to build up for her. 

The money raised by this campaign will go toward paying any outstanding or current medical expenses for Lauren and her children as well as any other household expenses.  The sooner we can raise this money for her the better as some of these expenses are substantial. 

Lauren is incredibly strong but has been through so much already.  She is also incredibly proud and would never ask for help in this manner on her own.  In fact, I am prepared for her to be upset at me for quite some time for me doing this.  She has seen me at and seen me through my absolute worst and I wish that there was more that I could do individualy to help her.  I think many of her friends and family may feel the same way, and together we may be able to contribute more to her fight than any of us could on our own. 

She has been fortunate to have many friends come forward with support in various forms.  Your continued love, PRAYERS, encouragment and ANY financial support that you may be able to contribute are greatly appreciated to help Lauren beat Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
