CARIBOU, Maine — Gena Madore is fighting for her life and volunteers are hosting an event Saturday, April 22, to help.

In July 2015, Madore was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, and doctors say a lung transplant is critical to her survival.

On Saturday, from 4 to 7 p.m., volunteers will host the “Give So Gena Can Live Spaghetti Dinner” at the VFW Post 9389 on US Route 1 in Caribou. There will also be a silent auction and raffles with prizes to win.

Donations may be sent to the NFT Maine Transplant Fund, 5350 Poplar Ave., Suite 430, Memphis, TN 38119. Write “in honor of Gena Madore” on the memo line. Secure donations also can be made online at www.transplants.org. Donors should click on “Find an NFT Patient” to locate Madore.
