Our dear friend, Shannon Mills, has always been known for her big heart, her kindness, and the way she goes above and beyond for everyone she meets. Today, she and her family need us to rally around them.

Shannon was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari Malformation with herniation, spinal stenosis, and severe compression at C4 & C6. In June, she underwent a major brain and spinal surgery — a suboccipital craniectomy with C1 laminectomy and duraplasty. Since then, her recovery has been anything but straightforward.

Shannon has endured multiple surgeries and procedures in just a few short months, including urgent returns to the operating room to repair spinal fluid leaks and remove scar tissue. Each procedure has been painful, frightening, and has pushed her healing timeline further out. Even now, she continues to face setbacks, uncertainty, and the possibility of additional interventions.

While Shannon fights daily to heal, her husband Tim — a veteran — is working full time and overtime to hold everything together for their family. Between medical expenses, transportation for their children, sports schedules, and the rising cost of everyday bills, this family is under enormous strain.

Shannon has spent her life giving to others, always showing up for her community and loved ones. Now it’s our turn to give back to her. Even a small donation can make a big difference in helping relieve some of the financial burdens while she focuses on recovery and Tim continues to care for their family.

How You Can Help:

• Donate if you are able — every bit helps.

• Share this page with your friends and community.

• Keep Shannon and her family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this incredibly challenging time.

The Mills family is deeply grateful for any support. Together, we can help them breathe a little easier and give Shannon the space she needs to heal.

❤️ Thank you for lifting them up with your generosity and love.
