[UPDATE]

Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you for your love and support on this journey.

June 4th, Mom had her first immunotherapy treatment and at first it seemed she was getting better, but after several admissions to the hospital and talking with her Oncologist and team they found that her body’s health was declining rapidly and the treatment was not helping.

Our mother decided to invite Cornerstone Hospice into the home June 17th and they made our Mom as comfortable as possible.

On the morning of June 25th, 2026 our Mom passed away peacefully to be with the Lord Jesus Christ.

We will have a celebration of life service July 4th in Ashburn, GA and a memorial service July 5th in Clermont, FL.

All donations will go to outstanding medical expenses and toward funeral costs as well. Thank you again for your support.

Bad Indigestion? A UTI? Shingles? No. It’s Stage 4 Kidney Cancer.

“I never imagined that I’d be going through something like this. The pain is constant. I don’t wish this on my worst enemy.” - Janet Graddic

What began as an ER trip to the hospital for excruciating abdominal pain, turned into a diagnosis of the shingles but not only that - cancer. In March 2026 our Mom, Janet Graddic, was officially diagnosed with Kidney Cancer after doctors discovered masses on her kidney, and lungs.

In a short span of time our Mom who once stood so strong, is now struggling to accomplish simple tasks such as walking, talking, eating, etc.

Despite this life altering news, our family remains positive. We believe in the healing power of Jesus, whatever that may look like. Despite the pain, we’ve seen God’s kindness and the kindness of people like you who have shown great love and support in our Mom’s healing journey already. So thank you so much!

We've also done what we can do in all of our own power and financial means, but we need more help. Will you join us in raising funds to support Janet’s healing journey?

You can help in three ways:

Prayer; To our family in Christ, we ask that you lift our mom up through prayer. We are praying with you.

Words of Encouragement; Though our Mom is physically weak, we want her to remain mentally strong with strong words of encouragement that inspire hope or just show love and support.

Donation: This is a realistic request we’re asking for as hospital bills are piling up more than we can cover alone.

However you decide to give today, we thank you for walking with us during this time. May God bless you.

With sincerest gratitude,

Aren, Ariel, Amiah
