8th Grader Battling Liver Cancer Needs Your Help

The family of a Hudson Memorial School eighth grader who was recently diagnosed with liver cancer is seeking help covering the cost of their medical bills.

Camille Vaillancourt, a family friend, is soliciting donations to help pay Nicole Jacques' medical bills, according to the GoFundMe.com page. Nicole is scheduled to begin aggressive treatment soon. Patch has partnered with GoFundMe and is helping to highlight worthy campaigns in local communities.

In 11 days, 486 people have already donated $30,470. The goal is $50,000.

Hi all-
Be the One to have Hope, Faith and Strength….
Nicole Jacques is an eighth grade student at Hudson Memorial School. She is a cheerleader for her middle school as well as for the Hudson Bears. She is great friend of many girls within her town as well as surrounding communities. 
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you that Nicole and her family have just learned that she has liver cancer. Nicole had not been feeling well for approximately a month and last week a mass in her liver was detected. Within hours, it was also discovered that the malignancies had metastasized to her lungs. Nicole has been at Boston Children's Hospital undergoing numerous tests and will be starting treatment at Dana Farber and Children's in the weeks ahead. 
Her parents, Nancy and Steve Jacques, are struggling to make sense of this horrific news while trying to maintain some sort of normalcy in their home and for Nicole's siblings, Mackenzie (10 years old) and Logan (8 years old).
The cancer is advanced and because it will need to be treated aggressively, this wonderful young woman and her family are in need of our help. 
We ask for all to join us in our community to fight this battle with the Jacques family.
Be the One to Believe! Believe that we can and will fight this disease!
Be the One to donate so that Nancy, Steve, and Nicole can worry less about the medical costs and focus primarily on Nicole's health and treatment!
Be the One to share your hope, faith, strength and love!
The support that is needed is both financial and spiritual - Be the One to join us in this fight!
Together we can Be the Ones to make the difference!
With much appreciation, 
Camille Vaillancourt
