A dear mom of three and friend

The Heiple’s can use your help. Mandi will be in hospice starting on 7/12. The cancer has moved to her brain and we are heartbroken.

They need help with the expensive cost of hospice to keep Mandi as comfortable as possible for the rest of her days. Anything would help. Thank you

Mandi’s kids

Hi, I am Rena and I am raising funds for my dear friend Mandi Heiple.

We met as neighbors in South City St. Louis and have been buddies ever since 2011!

Mandi was first diagnosed in 2015 with stage 3 breast cancer. That was a shock during the time as she was young and healthy with a 7 month old baby boy. She also is married to an awesome guy, Don, and has another boy and girl in high school.

She had chemo, double mastectomy, radiation and was given a clear bill of health.

This year she started having pain in her chest/back area that they found out is metastatic breast cancer to the bone and liver. She started chemo right away and has been able to work on and off but recently started radiation too and is too weak to work.

We are raising funds to help with her bills due to not being able to work. Her husband works at Dierergs full time and is an awesome hands on dad with their three kiddoes. He also is willing to drop everything to help Mandi and care for her.

If you know Mandi, you know she has never asked for help and it is hard for her to ask.

Please consider giving to help ease their burden and give encouragement to a fellow mom and St Louisan.
