Mary Ellen Biser

Mary Ellen Biser is a 75 year old Bedford grandma currently undergoing cancer treatment and raising her youngest daughter’s five children, one of whom with a feeding tube, as their legal guardian for the past five years, and still maintains a support group she founded for other seniors impacted by their children’s substance use disorders despite the added stress and danger of COVID-19. She volunteers in a myriad of other ways such as founding a team bringing care and comfort to couples who’ve lost pregnancies, but this year her health has especially been taxed due to having no break during the school days and teaching all three of the youngest who have IEPs due to various learning disabilities. She’ll always be my biggest Shero, my biggest inspiration, and my awesome mom.  Thanks for considering her for possible recognition.
