Laurie Streszoff, pictured here in Maria's Field of Hope in 2017 with her husband, Jeff, daughter, Emma Grace and a photo of daughter, Abby Lyn (2004-2010) feels honored to be a part of the Prayers From Maria Team in support of their mission to end childhood brain cancer.
Laurie can relate to families who have lost a child. Her oldest daughter, Abby, passed away at 6 years old from a Glioblastoma just three weeks after diagnosis. Although the battle was brief and the outcome was devastating, Abby inspired the lives of many and her memory lives on forever.
Prior to joining the Prayers From Maria Team, Laurie enjoyed volunteering in Maria's Shop and the Sunflower Wine Festival as well as fundraising and running with the Sunflower Striders Team. These were opportunities to honor Abby's memory while sharing and supporting the mission of the foundation.
In the role of Family Liaison, Laurie hopes to connect with the families who have reached out to Prayers From Maria and provide them with a sense of community. Together, we can support and encourage one another, honor our children gone too soon and provide other children and families with the hope of a cure and an end to childhood brain cancer.
Please feel free to reach out to Laurie at anytime! She truly cherishes hearing from you and learning more about your children and keeping their memory alive. No matter where you are in your journey, feel free to reach out to Laurie anytime via email at: Laurie Streszoff. Perhaps you are looking to make a connection, volunteer at an event or support our fundraising efforts. Laurie would be happy to help you in any of these ways!
Be the things you loved the most about the people who are gone.
