307ds agoA breast cancer survivor from Port Chester, who's
been through nine rounds of chemo and numerous surgeries, is finding a way to
give back.
Jenna Russo has now launched a GoFundMe for
Puzzle Peace.
The non-profit will donate puzzles to people
battling breast cancer.
Russo says the activity helped her through some
of her toughest moments. "I know a lot of people said they workout and
they do this, but I felt so sick I couldn't do that. So I said to my mom one
day, ‘you know what, I'm going to try to give as many puzzles as I possibly can
to people going through what I'm going through’ and I hope that they find the
healing in it, like I did."
So far, she's raised more than $17,000 of
her $30,000 goal.
Next week, she'll be delivering around 40
puzzles to Soul Riders in Rye Brook.
If you're battling cancer and would like some
help, you can reach out to Russo directly via Instagram at puzzlepeace_LLC.
