Fundraiser for the children of Lynn Shields

Originally this was started so that I could

raise funds for the kids and give it to them at the Funeral but due to lack of

orders I am now turning this into an online Event to help raise money for the 2

young children she left behind...Hello my name is Natasha Russo and I am the

mother in-law of the late Lynn Tirell Shields. Lynn was suffering from ITP

Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) which is a disorder that can lead to

easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. The bleeding results from unusually low

levels of platelets — the cells that help your blood clot.


After complications she ended up in ICU and passing away on February 14th

Valentine’s Day it was determined that unknown to us all her body was also

fighting Leukemia which is cancer of the body's blood-forming tissues,

including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system.


Leukemia usually starts in the white blood cells. Your white blood cells are

potent infection fighters — they normally grow and divide in an orderly way, as

your body needs them. She lost her battle to beat those two Blood Disorders.

Leaving behind two precious children 3 yr old Ivy and 7 mo old Izaiah in which

this Fundraiser will help in providing things that will help the children with

their needs. Thank you so very much for your contribution we are truly grateful
