Support the Rosnov Family During Ann's Cancer Fight
Ann Rosnov is fighting pancreatic cancer while also managing MS (Multiple Sclerosis), a lot for any one person or family to carry at once. Ann and her husband Todd have been married for over 23 years, having met while working together at MetLife 27 years ago. Both still work in insurance today!
The Rosnovs have deep roots in the Greenville/New Ipswich community, having raised Drew and Lia there. They went to preschool at Ebenezer Farm, where they became great friends with many children in town. They have played on many rec sports teams and currently play Soccer and Volleyball at the high school. Between Drew and Lia's activities, most of the community knows Todd well, too!
Long-term disability covers only 60% of Ann’s salary, which leaves a real gap for a family now requiring frequent trips to Dana-Farber in Boston and Londonderry, new medical equipment, and the everyday costs that don't pause for cancer treatment. Todd is handling all household responsibilities in addition to working full time and serving as primary caregiver.
This fund is meant to cover the everyday things that add stress on top of everything else:
A house cleaner, so that's one less thing for Todd to manage
Meals, since cooking isn't always possible some days
Gas for the regular drives to and from Dana Farber
New medical costs
Ann and Todd will be the first to say they're very fortunate. They love their home and community, have family and friend support and they have good health insurance. This isn't a crisis fund; it’s about making the daily weight of treatment feel a little lighter, so they can spend more energy on each other and on Drew and Lia (and their two dogs, Lucy and Sadie).
Ways to help:
Donate here. Every dollar goes toward the everyday costs above.
Send gift cards. They give the family flexibility for meals since chemo has changed Ann's tastes and everyone knows Todd is a little fussy =) Walmart, Market Basket, and Dunkin' Donuts are great options while Chick-fil-A or Starbucks are wonderful for Drew and Lia who are always on the go.
Ann loves flowers and plants. We are organizing a "flower train" so Ann always has fresh blooms while she is housebound. Sign up for the flower train HERE.
This fundraiser was started by Ann's sister Christina Thorpe and their close friend Lori Oliveira at the request of so many people who've been asking how to help. Thank you for all your support and prayers already for this wonderful family. You can reach Christina or Lori for any questions or if you have any other recommendations for support.
