A remarkable display of community solidarity has emerged in Bolans as residents mobilize to support Judy Thomas-Ward, a 43-year-old public servant facing a critical health crisis. The urgent fundraising initiative aims to secure specialized cancer treatment abroad that is unavailable locally.
Thomas-Ward, a dedicated employee at the Ministry of Labour, requires advanced medical care in Colombia following her cancer diagnosis. The comprehensive treatment package, including medical procedures, travel arrangements, and accommodation, carries an estimated price tag of $85,000. Organizers have identified an immediate need for $40,000 to cover initial medical expenses during her first four-month treatment phase.
Beyond her civil service role, Thomas-Ward has made substantial contributions to national sports as both a former youth and senior national football player, certified referee, softball athlete, and executive member of the Football Referees Association. Her athletic legacy and community involvement have inspired the widespread support campaign.
The mother of five children now faces the dual challenge of battling cancer while ensuring her family’s wellbeing. Supporters emphasize that successful treatment would not only restore her health but also enable her to continue her parenting responsibilities and community service.
Donation channels have been established through cheques payable to the NPMT Community League. Additional information regarding contribution methods is available through dedicated contact numbers: 780-4816, 780-8099, 780-0929, or 771-4727.
Campaign organizers are making impassioned appeals to individual donors, corporate entities, and diaspora members, emphasizing that each contribution directly impacts Thomas-Ward’s access to life-saving medical intervention. The community’s collective effort demonstrates the powerful role of social support in addressing healthcare accessibility challenges.
