Ease Rachel's Cancer Journey

On April 30, 2025, Rachel -- our extraordinary daughter, granddaughter, sister, wife, niece, cousin, coworker, and friend -- was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cervical cancer (Adenocarcinoma). At this time, the exact stage is unknown. We're waiting on further testing and likely a hysterectomy to understand how far it has progressed. This has been an incredibly emotional and overwhelming time for Rachel and our entire family. Rachel is known for putting others first and supporting them in times of need. Now, she needs our help.

Given the recency of her diagnosis, the path forward is uncertain. We do know that Rachel is facing a challenging journey ahead, including treatments, surgery, and ongoing medical care. She and her husband Paul will need to travel from Fargo, ND to either Sioux Falls, SD or Rochester, MN to get the best care possible. We want to ensure that she has access to high-quality care without the added stress of financial burdens.

I'm starting this GoFundMe to help ease Rachel's financial strain so she can focus on her health and recovery. Your donations will go directly towards covering medical expenses, travel costs, cat sitters, meals, supplies, and other essential needs during this time. Every little bit helps. Even if you don't donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser to branch Rachel's support network out even further.

From Rachel and her family, thank you all for your kindness, generosity, and love.
