Hello everyone,

We are starting this GoFundMe for our sister, friend, and incredibly loved member of our family,

Tessa Rand, who has recently been diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer.

Tessa has already begun chemotherapy, with approximately one year of treatment ahead of her,

including chemotherapy, targeted therapies, medications, and surgery.

Tessa is a talented jewelry maker, a creative and incredibly compassionate person, and someone

with an enormous heart. Throughout her career, she has used her jewelry business and large

social media following to organize fundraisers and help people, families, and communities in need.

She is loving, kind, fiercely compassionate, and ferociously generous.

Now, Tessa is the one who needs our help.

Five years ago, Tessa's husband, Tre, was diagnosed with ALS when their youngest daughter was

just six months old. Since then, Tre has been unable to work, leaving Tessa as the sole provider for

their family.

Their family has already faced years of financial strain, including numerous ALS-related treatments,

medications, and expenses that were not covered. Now, Tessa is facing cancer herself.

With Tessa unable to work normally during treatment, the financial pressure on her family is

enormous. There are mortgage payments, groceries, household bills, medical expenses, travel, and

the many unexpected costs that come with cancer.

Our hope is to take some of that financial burden off her so she can concentrate on treatment,

healing, and her two beautiful daughters.

If you are able to donate, anything and everything will help. And if you aren't in a position to

donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as meaningful.

There will also be other opportunities to support Tessa and her family along the way, including meal

trains and artist auctions, where you can help by providing meals, donating artwork or items, or

participating in the auctions. Every bit of support makes a difference and means so much to Tessa

and her family.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and supporting Tessa and her family through this incredibly difficult

time.

We love you, Tessa. You are not alone.
