<div>
 Hello everyone,
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We are starting this GoFundMe for our sister, friend, and incredibly loved member of our family,
</div>
<div>
 Tessa Rand, who has recently been diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Tessa has already begun chemotherapy, with approximately one year of treatment ahead of her,
</div>
<div>
 including chemotherapy, targeted therapies, medications, and surgery.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Tessa is a talented jewelry maker, a creative and incredibly compassionate person, and someone
</div>
<div>
 with an enormous heart. Throughout her career, she has used her jewelry business and large
</div>
<div>
 social media following to organize fundraisers and help people, families, and communities in need.
</div>
<div>
 She is loving, kind, fiercely compassionate, and ferociously generous.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Now, Tessa is the one who needs our help.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Five years ago, Tessa's husband, Tre, was diagnosed with ALS when their youngest daughter was
</div>
<div>
 just six months old. Since then, Tre has been unable to work, leaving Tessa as the sole provider for
</div>
<div>
 their family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Their family has already faced years of financial strain, including numerous ALS-related treatments,
</div>
<div>
 medications, and expenses that were not covered. Now, Tessa is facing cancer herself.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 With Tessa unable to work normally during treatment, the financial pressure on her family is
</div>
<div>
 enormous. There are mortgage payments, groceries, household bills, medical expenses, travel, and
</div>
<div>
 the many unexpected costs that come with cancer.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Our hope is to take some of that financial burden off her so she can concentrate on treatment,
</div>
<div>
 healing, and her two beautiful daughters.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 If you are able to donate, anything and everything will help. And if you aren't in a position to
</div>
<div>
 donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 There will also be other opportunities to support Tessa and her family along the way, including meal
</div>
<div>
 trains and artist auctions, where you can help by providing meals, donating artwork or items, or
</div>
<div>
 participating in the auctions. Every bit of support makes a difference and means so much to Tessa
</div>
<div>
 and her family.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting Tessa and her family through this incredibly difficult
</div>
<div>
 time.
</div>
<div>
 <br>
</div>
<div>
 We love you, Tessa. You are not alone.
</div>
