Giving back
submitted by Pat Rosenow from Rock Falls, IL on Jul 15, 2010
The person I would like to nominate is Mary Lesniewski, who has been a dear friend for over 30 years. Mary has the kind of bubbly personality that makes you smile. Just over 5 years ago, Mary was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyone is amazed at her positive attitude and her ability to keep smiling through every medical issue that is thrown her way. Then about 2 months ago she began having headaches & Dr's discovered 3 brain tumors. Aggressive radiation was started & she found out yesterday that it had worked & shrunk the tumors !!
Due to her illness, Mary had to take disability from a job that she loved...so money is tight. She drives mid 1990's vehicle that is no longer reliable. She has given so much to me over the years with her friendship and support that I'd love to give her something back in the form of a new Volkswagon. I hope you'll consider her !!
