Jill Olecki has battled Non-Hodgkin lymphoma since 2019
Jill Olecki of Carmel, a mother of five, has battled Diffuse Large B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma since February 2019, resulting in the amputation of her right leg. She is now facing the amputation of her remaining leg.
The St. Nicholas Neighbor in Need Foundation recently raised the $125,000 needed to donate the van to the Oleckis and for home renovations to make it more accessible for Jill.
The van was presented to Jill and her family on Sunday at BraunAbility, 645 W. Carmel Drive, Carmel.
Jill has endured years of chemotherapy and hospitalizations, and now another leg amputation. Through this, Jill, along with her husband Dave, remain positive and steadfast in their faith.
“Although it has been incredibly difficult, the blessings I’ve received from the outpouring of love and charity from others have been amazing,” Jill said.
Instead of focusing on her struggles, Jill turns to her faith, perseverance and fortitude to carry her through her health problems. She also credits the support of her husband, whom she describes as the “epitome of the vocation of marriage.”
