Gofundme Set Up For Nuala Marcus After Home Damaged

 
Things have not been easy lately for Nuala Marcas, Sandra Rose in real-life, one of the leaders of the Relay for Life's Relay Rockers.  On Saturday June 13 (right on the Relay Weekend), a car smashed into her home's bedroom, demolishing  the wall and just about everything inside. The result has been thousands in damages and living elsewhere until the repairs are done.
 
 
 Sandra is the kind of person who shows up — not just for friends, but for strangers fighting for their lives. For 22 years, she has volunteered with the American Cancer Society, helping raise millions of dollars to fund cancer research and support patients and families in need. She has given decades of her life to helping others through their hardest moments.

Now she is facing her own.
 
 On the morning of June 13, 2026, a car crashed directly into Sandra (Nuala)'s bedroom — destroying everything inside and leaving a gaping hole in the wall of her condo. She had no warning. In seconds, the space she slept in, the belongings she'd built over years, and her sense of safety were gone.

The impact destroyed Sandra's bedroom completely — her furniture, mattress, clothing, electronics, and personal belongings were either crushed or rendered unusable. While insurance will cover a portion of the losses, it will fall far short of what it actually costs to replace everything she lost. The gap between what insurance pays and what real replacement costs is significant, and that burden falls entirely on Sandra. 

Sandra has been forced to leave her home entirely and is now living out of hotels while repairs are assessed. The timeline to rebuild is uncertain — it could be months before she can return.


The result has been a Gofundme created to help Nuala out. The money is not only to replace and repair what insurance wouldn't cover, but to pay for her current living quarters while the place is fixed. 
 
WE have started a GoFundMe to Help Nuala:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-sandra-nuala-rebuild-after-car-crashed-into-her-home-8myr3   Please donate if you can ...
 
 The goal of the fundraiser is $13,000 CAD. As of the writing of this article, over $4200, about a third of that has been raised.
