After helping hundreds of Plainfield home buyers and sellers, she needs a hand

Michele Marron, who as real estate paralegal for the firm of King, King & Goldsack -- many readers know former partners Victor E.D. King and John Wood Goldsack -- helped hundreds (if not thousands) of Plainfielders and others find their way through sometimes thorny and fretful home purchases and sales, is now in need of a helping hand.

I am in hopes that former clients and real estate professionals reading this will pitch in and help.

Michele (now Marron-Meyerhoff) suffers from the rare, chronic -- and now, life threatening -- autoimmune disease scleroderma.

Michele desperately needs a stem cell transplant. Her friendly health insurance provider will not cover the $160,000 cost of the procedure. The hospital will perform it only if the money is in the bank.

Hospitalized last year for seven months and spending several weeks on a ventilator to assist her breathing, her lungs have been seriously damaged and the transplant offers the only possibility of halting the progress of the disease.

You may help by making a contribution in Michele's name to the National Foundation for Transplants, with whom her family, friends and old classmates (Westfield HS, 1959) are working to raise the funds. [Read more here...]
