My name is Blake Shaffer and today I met an incredible woman, a devoted single mother of three, who is facing something no family should have to face.

She is currently battling health issues while also carrying the heavy weight of financial stress. Between medical treatments, everyday bills, and caring for her children, the burden is overwhelming. Despite everything, she continues to show strength, humility, and love for her kids that is nothing short of inspiring.

This fundraiser is meant to come alongside her during this difficult season, not as a handout, but as a community stepping in to lift some of the weight she's carrying.

The funds raised will go directly toward:

Medical bills and treatment-related expenses

Household bills and basic living needs

Providing stability and peace of mind for her and her children during this fight

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to give her breathing room — so she can focus on healing, being present with her kids, and fighting this battle without the constant stress of finances.

If you're able to give, thank you.

If you're not, sharing this page means just as much.

Every dollar and every prayer matters more than you know.

Let's show her that she's not alone and that when life hits hard, community shows up.
