Sometimes life throws the most unexpected challenges at the people who deserve them least and when you least expect it.

One minute you're getting engaged to the love of your life and then a week later you're receiving knews of your cancer diagnosis. Then a few days later, you're told your surgery has been scheduled.

Our dear friend, Bria, is preparing to undergo surgery to remove thyroid cancer in less than 2 weeks. While we're looking forward to Bria getting through surgery and beginning her recovery, all while finding time to enjoy the bliss of her new engagement to fiánce Bryce, we know this journey will come with challenges that extend beyond the medical side of things. The uncertainty, unexpected expenses, and time away from work and family all take a toll.

If you know Bria, you know there is truly no one quite like her. She has that amazing sense of humor that can make you laugh when you need it most. She can turn an ordinary day into something special and make you want to know her forever. Her humor is infectious, her heart is enormous, and her warmth has a way of making anyone feel at home.

As a daughter, a partner, a step mom, a sister and friend, she means the world to the people closest to her. And through her work as your beloved bartender from Arizona to California and back again, she's built countless friendships and connections with people who she cherishes. Bria has given so many people reasons to smile, and so we call upon anyone and everyone to shine that love right back on her.

Now it's our turn to be there for her.

We are asking for your help to ease some of the financial burden as Bria faces surgery, recovery, and the road ahead. Donations will help with medical expenses, everyday bills that support her family, time away from work, and other unexpected costs that come with this change in her world. Most importantly, we want to help her focus on healing while her tribe pools the funds to get her through.

No contribution is too small. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing this page with your wider group of friends and family could be the very threads needed to bring this web of connections together.

Let's surround Bria with the same love, laughter, and kindness that she has freely given to others. Let's remind her that she's not facing this alone and that she has an entire community cheering her on. Lets show her that help is here to carry her forward when the world feels like its falling apart. We can do hard things, but they are easier to do with friends and family.

Bria has too much laughter to share, memories to make, adventures to have, and people to make smile. We can make this part of her life just a little easier! So lets rally, lets hoot n holler, lets get down with raising a girl up so she can keep doing what she does best, making life a little brighter.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for showing up for Bria, someone who has shown up for so many of us.
