A COMMUNITY THAT CARES: SUPPORT DARLENE & PAY IT FORWARD
0% complete
$15,820 raised of
135 donations
Darlene has always shown up for others. She has organized fundraisers for cancer and other causes, given her time to her community, and served as a volunteer firefighter. Now it's our turn to be there for her.
In December 2025, Darlene was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. She has since endured chemotherapy, radiation, and ileostomy surgery, and the cancer has spread to her uterus. In the coming weeks she faces another major surgery to remove her uterus, ovaries, and part of her bowel, followed by a long recovery.
We want to ease some of that burden so she can focus on healing.
PAYING IT FORWARD
Even while facing her own battle, Darlene has wished to help other cancer patients with the cost of hospital parking. She knows firsthand how quickly those costs add up when you're already dealing with so much.
50% of the Funds raised will help Darlene with her cancer related expenses, and the other 50% will go toward hospital parking for other cancer patients and their families. We hope this becomes part of her legacy.
If you can contribute, thank you. If you can share, thank you. And if all you can offer is a kind thought or prayer, that matters too.
Let's surround Darlene with the same love and generosity she has given others, and help turn her wish to give back into a lasting legacy of compassion.
