Help Stephanie Honor Courtney's Courage

Hi, my name is Stephanie, and with a heavy heart, I’m reaching out during the most painful chapter of my life.

My wife, Courtney, died from an aggressive form of ovarian cancer with a BRCA1 mutation. She was 40 years old. She fought with a strength and grace that words can’t fully capture. From the day we got married—on Friday the 13th, in true rebel fashion—she has been the heart of our home, the light in every room, and the soul of our love story.

This journey has been long and filled with courage: countless treatments, hospital stays, and quiet moments at home where we held on to hope. Now, as we prepare for her transition, the emotional weight is matched by an overwhelming financial one—medical bills, hospice care, and the end-of-life costs no one is ever really prepared for.

I’m asking for help so I can give her the peace, dignity, and love she deserves in these final moments—and to stay afloat as I try to navigate life without her. Any funds raised will go directly toward:

Home care support

Travel costs

Memorial and burial expenses

Covering time away from work to grieve and heal

Managing outstanding medical bills

If you can give, I am deeply grateful. If you can’t, sharing this page means just as much. Thank you for reading, for holding space for our story, and for helping carry us through something no one should face alone.
