Daisy was a talented seamstress. Her quilts and clown dolls are still cherished by her children and grandchildren. She devoted much of her time to children’s ministries, including helping with Child Evangelism and teaching Sunday school. Daisy and Harry loved people and spent much of their time helping others, especially the families at the Spring Run Bible Church.
Daisy was diagnosed with cancer in September of 1999. She had surgery on October 28, 1999 in Pittsburgh where she remained for fifty-three days until she went home to be with the Lord on December 19, 1999.
During that time, Daisy’s family was overwhelmed by the support they received as they made those long trips back and forth to Pittsburgh. It is the family’s hope that this non-profit organization will allow us to raise money to support other families going through similar experiences.
It is our desire to honor Christ for His faithfulness to our family and to honor our mother and father who provided us with the example of how to know real JOY. (Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last.)

Fund raising for the Daisy Fund continues to be a real blessing to everyone involved. During 2010 we have raised an additional $13,467 dollars and have given out a total of $6,300 from those funds raised.
This brings our total for the last two years to $22,900 and we have helped 60 families.
Families helped most recently included:
Three children with leukemia, a young girl with thyroid cancer, a man with colon cancer, a man with prostrate cancer, three women with breast cancer, a young father with ALS, two separate families affected by serious accidents, a young girl with severe swelling of the brain and a child on a ventilator.
This helped would not be possible without the hard work of the many volunteers who help with fundraisers and the generous donations of several local organizations.

An Exciting First Year
It is hard to believe that the first organizational meeting of The Daisy Fund was only in June of 2008. During this first year, the fund has been able to help seventeen families by giving out $5,480 to help with the expenses associated with cancer treatment and catastrophic illness. The stories of these families have included a child with leukemia, a young father in need of a liver transplant, a child stricken with a rare condition known as Stevens Johnson syndrome, a father battling liver cancer, and a retired pastor traveling for chemo-therapy. All seventeen families are experiencing similar challenges. Thanks to the many volunteers who have helped with fund raising, The Daisy Fund has been able to respond to every request brought for consideration.
In addition to the above gifts, the fund has also given $600 to the Good Sheppard Food Bank housed at the Valley Medical Center in Dry Run, Pennsylvania and $200 to the bus fund at the Spring Run Bible Church.
The amount of funds dispersed thus far is $6,280. The fund is operated as a non-profit and all funds raised are targeted directly to the mission of the Daisy Fund.
Special Thanks
Several local groups and organizations have given donations to The Daisy Fund. They have included the Annual Path Valley Open Golf Tournament, The Path Valley Farm Women's Group, The O'Donnell Family Reunion and Pam Johnson and her family and friends. The generosity of these groups have made a difference in the lives of the families helped by the Daisy Fund this year. Thank you!
