Help a Bethel Family as They Mourn Loss of Their Teen Daughter

The Bethel community is mourning the loss of a BHS alumnus, Sarah Esposito, who passed away on Monday after courageously battling a brain tumor. She graduated in 2014 and was just 18-years-old.

The family set up a GoFundMe page to help with medical expenses where they explained she ”was diagnosed late in 2014 with a stage 4 glioblastoma brain tumor. It is the most aggressive tumor her doctors have ever seen.”

Sarah underwent surgery to remove the tumor in November, but three weeks later the tumor had fully regrown. Radiation treatments were unsuccessful in shrinking the tumor.

As the family prepares to say goodbye to Sarah, please consider making a donation to her fund to help defray the cost of funeral expenses. Click here to donate.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced. Sarah was a part of the EMT program through Bethel High School and her family are active members of the Bethel United Methodist Church, who have been praying for her recovery.

Patch will update as more information becomes available.
