MALDEN YMCA99 Dartmouth StreetMalden, MA 02148


I grew up in Malden and when I was a child I used to go to the YMCA twice a week for swim and because it was a safe space. I had lost my connection to the Y, but last year I became involved again with the Malden YMCA through the LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program for cancer survivors. I saw an adver-tisement and thought I would try it out—I had no idea all that the YMCA had to offer now and how it would im-pact my life. The staff really motivated me to push forward and it was great to be part of an incredibly supportive community and to be with others who went through similar experiences.

The program had such a big effect on me that I wanted to stay involved with the Y. As I live a simple nun’s life, I did not have enough resources to become a member. The Y and its professional staff stepped up again and provided me with financial assistance for my membership. I am used to being the one who gives, and I am forever grate-ful for what I have received and con-tinue to receive from the Y. I am cancer free and because of my aqua aerobics, I am now off pain medication. Thank you!

- Sister Sean
