As you may (or may not yet) know,

My 28 year old Daughter in Law, OLIVIA DANFORTH has been having SERIOUS Medical Issues....

1st, let me say, This woman is the STRONGEST WOMAN I KNOW>>>> HANDS DOWN!!!

She is truly an extraordinary person. She is a patient wife and an incredible mother. She works tirelessly in every role she takes on: gardener, teacher, nurse, wood burner/artist, entrepreneur, cook, homemaker, and devoted homeschool educator to her amazing daughter. Through it all, she continues to show remarkable strength and grace, always keeping a smile on her face while facing an overwhelming number of health challenges, I have listed them below:

(keep in mind, she's ONLY 28!)

Here's the ‘short’ version:

->She was Diagnosed with Crohn's disease – which worsened after the stress of finding her father, deceased in his home, and all that came with that (stress irritates Crohn’s)

-> she had multiple fistula surgeries & multiple drains placed- to the point the stitches catch on one another making even simple things like sitting or walking feel impossible and extremely painful

-> eventually, the large intestines were past saving and a Stoma/ Ostomy Bag Placed (which most people would think 'their life is over', yet she was like YES! A NEW BEGINNING! and back to work she went…)

So Excited to finally be feeling better, for the 1st time in YEARS, they Planned a child. And Gwen was born.

Then… the dreadful part of the story begins….

->Pain in the neck. Diagnosed as “muscular” and was doing ‘physical therapy’ Until we LITERALLY SAW IT GROWING…. Like a hotdog on her neck. A second opinion was in order …. And sure enough

--->A Brain Tumor diagnosis (in her neck oddly enough)

NOW

-> Radiation Begins (which means being strapped into a metal helmet and strapped down to a table so you can’t move AT ALL) followed by a 6 month+ recovery including all the bad radiation things like depletion of energy, severe weight loss, hair loss, medication weaning, on & on)

BUT... She FIGHTS .... AND WINS! (I told you she’s a tough cookie!) she never complained. Just excited because It WAS WORTH IT! It meant, She gets more time creating more memories with her family.

BUT THEN....

->A Lung Tumor Diagnosis! The tumor is BACK! But in her Lungs this time….

which means

-> Chemo -> but the nausea from the chemo ends up causing an abscess of her Stoma leading to eruption and failure of the current ostomy. ANOTHER New Problem….

But she fights on…. and so...

->A new stoma was placed, unfortunately it was not functioning properly. As a result, she was forced to rely entirely on intravenous nutrition through a PICC line to survive. She could not eat or drink anything by mouth while waiting for it to heal. Rather than remain in the hospital for an unknown amount of time, she chose to manage this exhausting process from home, so she could spend as much time as possible with her husband and daughter. What no one expected was the healing process took four long months. For 20hours a day, every single day, she had to hook herself up to IV nutrition just to stay alive.

And yet, through all of it, she continued to push forward with incredible strength and positivity. Despite not being able to eat at all herself, she still cooked meals every day for her husband, daughter, and loved ones. Most people could never imagine preparing food while being unable to take a single bite — but she did it with love and without complaint

THEN....

She Gets an Infection in the Picc line-> she’s hospitalized ->

Another New problem… but she fights on…

Finally, She weighs enough to Start focusing on the LUNG TUMORS!

->So, She Starts Chemo on the Lung tumors AGAIN

Which

Her Intestines REJECT the Chemo AGAIN! She’s Hospitalized AGAIN! She Just can NOT catch a break!

This time she needs:

>Emergency Surgery ! She is Cut Wide Open for an entire RESET of her intestines

-> ANOTHER STOMA re-Placement

->and Stapled back together...

Once she heals enough and gains enough weight back (at this point she is well under 100lbs at 5 foot 10 inches) It's Back to:

->focusing on The Lung Tumors, which have been growing like crazy while she's trying to get her intestines up and working

Now,

-> "WE NEED TO START RADIATION ASAP, at the rate the tumors have been growing, they are going to start blocking her airway soon..."

And so

->She packed up the family, went to Boston and

->got radiation AGAIN

BUT.....

This time, The Radiation failed, the Lung tumors Continued to grow...

AND....Like AS IF that's NOT Bad ENOUGH??

PS....

Your brain tumor in your neck, is alive and active AGAIN... ... And NOW its intertwined with your jugular & carotid artery so, I'm sorry, "THERES NOTHING MORE WE CAN DO ...."

( And all she wants is to be a good mom! LONGER!!!)

So as of May 2026, They've reported "at that rate the tumors are growing, She has 2-3 months of 'healthy living' left

& was told to "spend that time getting her affairs in order"

((WHAT?? DOES THAT MEAN?!Plan your Death? For your Funeral? Very Sadly, the answer is Yes

So Today, (May 22, 2026) HOSPICE at her house, helping her prepare for 'what's to come' WHAT 28 year old should be PLANNING THIS??

So... this Page is created because:

Although she's doing as told, "getting her affairs in order"

She would also LOVE to have the opportunity to TRAVEL a little bit.

She would like to create, some forever memories of just ‘living’ and ‘enjoying’ what’s left of her 'healthy time', because Modern medicine has failed her, and 2-3 months will fly by in the blink of an eye.

She dreams of traveling out west — visiting places like Yosemite National Park and the towering Redwood National and State Parks — Maybe Yellowstone, or Arches National Park, simply to create more joyful memories with the people she loves most. At the same time, heartfelt videos and gifts for her daughter’s future milestones: “Hap py Birthday, baby girl,” Just Icase I didn't get my Miracle and I can't be here for this" “Congratulations on your graduation,” “On your wedding day,” and “Welcome to motherhood” — messages filled with love, encouragement, and the warmth only a mother can give.

She is doing this because she has been told 2- 3 months, if they are right, she will not be here to witness those moments herself. But through these memories, videos, and keepsakes, a part of her always will be. Her love will continue surrounding her daughter through every chapter of life. Gwen already says, “Love like my mommy — she has the biggest heart,”she literally just tld her friend that at her 5th birthday party in Late April and that love will remain present in every memory they share. We want to create and capture as many as possible.

No parent — especially one so young — should ever have to prepare goodbye messages for milestones they fear that they are going to miss. The heartbreak of creating a sweet sixteen video for your child before even reaching 30 yourself, is almost too impossible to put into words.

IT’S SOOOO HEARTBREAKING!!!!!

So PLEASE.... Let's help fund her “Really Great Memories that will last a lifetime” Trip!

Her Daughter and her husband deserve to share these months in a positive way with her. And Her, with them. For as long as She Can.

She is such an incredible mother that she began teaching her daughter sign language before she could even speak. By the age of two or three, her daughter already knew her letters, colors, and numbers. Now at just five years old, she can read and write — and one of the sweetest parts is seeing little handwritten notes all around the house that say, “I love you Mom and Dad.” Those small moments are absolutely priceless.

Olivia has impacted everyone around her in meaningful ways. She has taught us patience, compassion, and the importance of communicating with love and understanding. She’s shown us how much healthier life can be through nourishing our bodies with real food instead of processed “food-like” products. The song lyric, “When you pass on, what you gonna pass down,” always brings her to mind — because she has passed down wisdom, kindness, strength, and love to all of us.

After everything she has endured in this unimaginable fight to survive, she deserves more time to experience joy, peace, and precious moments with her family. Two or three months may seem short to some, but to this family, that time means everything.

Any donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. Every Dollar Counts. Even a few dollars — the cost of a coffee or a small daily expense — can help create priceless memories that this family will treasure forever.

( And if you don't want to donate to the site, don't forget to drag the donation bar down, you CAN Donate to just the cause- just slide the bar)

BUT Let's do it fast, Planning of all the things, needs to start happening NOW….

HER HOURGLASS IS QUICKLY RUNNING OUT OF SAND.....

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you are willing to give.
