Empowering Meghan to Heal & Thrive Beyond Breast Cancer

Donation protected
Welcome dear friends, family, kindred spirits, and compassionate strangers.

We feel so deeply grateful and blessed that you’ve found your way here, as we gather around our beloved Meghan during her wellness journey, in light of a recent breast cancer diagnosis.

Recently, Meghan noticed an unusual nodule in her breast. Last week, she went in for a mammogram. This turned into an ultrasound and on the same day, a biopsy. By the next afternoon, she received the news of her diagnosis and in that moment, her life shifted instantly.

And yet -- in that unmistakably “Meghan way” -- she is meeting this moment not as a battle to be fought, but as a teacher to be received, and is allowing it to guide her deeper into trust, surrender, and the mysterious art of letting life remake her from the inside out.

If you feel moved to support her through this deeply transformative passage, please donate whatever you can.

If you know Meghan, you know what it means to be in the warm glow of her presence. She is nourishment embodied… a true healing heart, and a force of grounded grace. She listens deeply, loves generously, and pours herself into every person, project, and space she touches. Whether she’s building something with her bare hands or holding space with her whole being, Meghan gives herself fully to life, and tends to its great web with such tremendous care, that all who are connected to her may thrive.

Now more than ever, Meghan needs that love, support, and thriving to circle back to her.

At the center of her world are her wife Christine and their daughter Maiya — the loves of her life, her anchors, her mirrors, and her greatest support system. And yet, as anyone who has walked the healing path knows, love alone cannot pay the bills. Christine will be working hard to keep the family financially steady and supported while Meghan takes time to heal, but the weight of medical, travel, and daily costs is calling for a wider circle of support.

Here is what your support will make possible:

  • Medical costs, copays, and deductibles not covered by insurance
  • Travel and lodging for treatments out of city and potentially out of state
  • Nourishing meals, holistic therapies, and alternative healing modalities
  • Everyday living expenses as Meghan steps away from her work to focus fully on recovery
  • Space to breathe that softens the edges of scarcity and survival worries, allowing the family to settle into the peace, provision, and safety that true healing requires

Please contribute in whatever way you can –- whether it’s financial, energetic, or a simple prayer whispered under your breath. Every small act of care contributes to the field of grace surrounding Meghan’s healing.

It also helps to hold Christine and Maiya close, reminding them that they’re not alone -- and that their entire family is lifted up in love by a vast community of people who truly care.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for blessing us with your love and support.
