Daniela Benton and her family are facing news no family ever wants to hear. Even in the midst of this, they are holding tightly to their faith, trusting that the Lord is faithful and that this diagnosis did not take Him by surprise. Daniela has been diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative invasive ductal carcinoma and is preparing for a long road ahead that will include aggressive chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation.

Through it all, Daniela has already shared that she feels a deep sense of peace—something only the Holy Spirit can provide in a time like this. The Benton family is leaning on that peace as they step into the unknown, trusting that God has a plan even in the middle of life’s hardest moments.

On behalf of the Benton family, we are asking for support as they adjust to this new season. I will be helping Daniela follow a therapeutic keto diet to support her through treatment. If you feel led to help by preparing meals for Daniela, please reach out. We will also be organizing a meal train for the rest of the family soon to help lighten their daily load—keep an eye out for that link.

This fund is being created to help ease the many financial burdens that come with a diagnosis like this, including grocery delivery, hospital parking, house cleaning, insurance costs, deductibles, and other unexpected expenses. Our hope is to give Daniela the space to focus on healing and resting, rather than worrying about the weight of day-to-day responsibilities.

Most importantly, thank you for covering this family in prayer. Your prayers mean more than words can express. Please continue to pray for:

• A calm mind and spirit as they trust the Lord to guide each step

• That the cancer has not spread beyond the breast and underarm lymph nodes

• Wisdom and provision regarding financial and insurance-related challenges

• That Daniela can be a light to others she encounters during treatment, pointing people to the Lord

• Strength, clarity, and excellence for her medical team

• Praise! The cancer has not spread to her brain

If you feel led to support the Benton family in other ways, please don’t hesitate to reach out with ideas or offers to help. Even simple things like inviting them for relaxed, fun family time can make a meaningful difference. Kevin and Daniela are doing their best to keep life as normal as possible for their kids, and your support truly helps make that possible.

Thank you for loving and supporting this family during this time.
