Hope for Leanna: A Mom Facing Rare Disease

Let’s Help Leanna Raber Get Life-Saving Medical Care

Hi friends,

I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of a local woman many of you may know: Leanna Raber—a wife, mother of three, and someone who’s quietly blessed others through her home-baked goods and kind spirit. I’ve come to know Leanna over the last couple of years through her small baking business, and I’ve been deeply moved by her story and what she’s currently walking through.

Leanna is facing a potential diagnosis of GPA Vasculitis—a rare and life-threatening autoimmune disease. Without proper treatment, it can be fatal. She’s currently receiving care at Cleveland Clinic, but the testing and appointments she needs (like a chest CT scan and lung biopsy) are all out-of-pocket because she doesn’t qualify for Medicaid and can’t afford private insurance.

Just one necessary test was recently quoted at over $700, and there are many more to come.

She hasn’t asked for help publicly—but I know many in our community would want to step in if they understood the need. Between fighting for her health, raising three children, and trying to stay afloat financially, this season has been incredibly hard for Leanna and her family.

Your support will help cover:
• Medical testing and procedures at Cleveland Clinic
• Critical medications and follow-up care
• Practical needs for her family while she recovers

Leanna is doing all she can to fight for her life—for her husband, her children, and her future. If you feel led to give or share this with others who might, it would mean the world. Every bit helps, and together we can lift some of this weight off her shoulders.

Leanna has given her full permission for this campaign to be shared, and she’s deeply grateful for every act of kindness, prayer, and support. All funds will go directly to help her and her family navigate this medical journey

Leanna’s greatest motivation—her three beautiful children.
