Our beautiful friend Gretchen is navigating the final stages of her battle with terminal cancer. She’s meeting it with incredible strength and grace—but as things progress, the emotional and financial toll on her family continues to grow.

Her husband, Eric, recently lost his job. Around the same time, Gretchen’s condition began to rapidly worsen. Now, he’s doing everything he can to be present with her and support their three daughters while also trying to manage the growing costs of everyday life.

Many friends and loved ones have asked how they can help. This GoFundMe is one way to lift some of the financial weight off their shoulders—helping with household expenses, groceries, transportation, and eventually, end-of-life costs including cremation and funeral arrangements when the time comes.

This family has poured love into their community for years. Now they could use some of that love returned.

If you’re able to give, thank you. If you can share, thank you. Every single gesture means more than you know.

With gratitude and love,

Michele (on behalf of Team Gretchen)
