Helene Henry Kilchrist Killasser Swinford – Fundraiser

A GoFundMe Page for Helene Henry Kilchrist who as some of you know, is going through treatment for leukaemia has been set up. Over the next years she will incur huge medical bills that her insurance plan will not completely cover.

Helene is a native of Swinford, Co. Mayo and has lived in Chicago for over 30 years.. She had to take early retirement due to having suffered a stroke in 2015. In 2018, Helene moved to Abilene, Texas to live close to her Son. In late 2018, she received the devastating news that she had leukaemia.

If anyone wants to contribute to the above fundraiser with a cash donation please drop it into Sheelah in Melletts Swinford as soon as possible as the money which has already been collected is being transferred next week. Thanks to all who supported the collection You can also donate through the Go Fund me Page on Facebook, Further information from Sheelah at 087 6786899.
