Framingham Family Needs Help From Community As Mom Undergoes Kidney Transplant

Framingham resident Tiffanie Cameron Maskell is always willing to lend a hand to help others, volunteering her time all over town. Now, she and her family are in need of some help.

The wife, and mother of two sons, Maskell is scheduled to have a kidney transplant on October 7.

A fund has been set up to assist the Maskell family with mounting out-of-pocket medical costs for her transplant operation and recovery. A goal of $6,000 has been set, and already more than half ($3,665) has been raised as of midnight.

Maskell has been suffering from kidney disease and enduring dialysis, while waiting to find a donor for a kidney transplant. The kidney disease is related to her battle with diabetes.

She is a teacher and active member of her church. Maskell is a parent, volunteer and former PTO president at Hemenway Elementary School. She drives a school bus in Hopkinton. And, she runs the snack bar at Framingham Frog swim meets, both during the winter and summer seasons.

With her husband Don, they have two children - Davin and Draydin.

“She is busy everyday driving a school bus in the town of Hopkinton. She loves those children as much as our own,” said Don.
