Help Crystal Defeat Cancer

Breast cancer is a disease that is devastating countless women across the world. Crystal Matterson is one of those dear women. She needs our help to win her own battle with breast cancer.

Crystal is a single mom of two children: Julian age 12, and Joaquin, age 16. She is a devoted mother and servant of God. She has served the needs of others in Asia, and here in the U.S. Her home is open to others, and she gives of herself sacrificially to bless other women. She continues to pour out her life on behalf of young women who need the mentorship of a “big sister.”

In November of 2024, the loving, caring flow of Crystal’s life was devastated by these words: “you have cancer.” Crystal is facing 6 months of chemotherapy and radical surgery to battle an invasive ductal carcinoma form of breast cancer. Though friends and extended family are doing what they can, Crystal is a single mom trying to keep a home and career together for her two precious children as she is fighting this ruthless disease.

Those of us close to Crystal are awed by her courage and positive faith. But she can’t do this alone; Crystal is tired every day yet has to march onward to make life work for her family. We want to enable her to focus on her children knowing that her financial needs have been met. We ask you to be in this battle with Crystal by offering whatever financial help that you can reasonably give.

Ultimately, Crystal’s belief and ours is that God is the One we look to for victory in this battle. We therefore ask, also, for your prayers for Crystal and her family, that God would supply her need and keep her boat afloat as she navigates this challenge.

Thank you so very much for your love and consideration toward meeting this need.

Gary and Linda Pasquarell, with Living Hope Church RVA, on behalf of our dear friend, Crystal
