I have known Mr. and Mrs. Bartz since I was in middle school and became best friends with their daughter, Allison. They are both very sincere, loving people who always go above and beyond to help others.

In August, Mrs. Bartz was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of lymphoma. She has been going through the difficult process of chemotherapy, and luckily it seems to be working so far. However, she still has a long road ahead. Unfortunately, there are a lot of medical bills already, and her treatments will likely last into the spring (which means more bills). I'm creating this fundraiser with the hope that their friends and family can bless them in a tangible way.
