Melissa is a loving wife to Tony and a devoted mother to four beautiful children — Leo, Gracie, Annie, and Adam — ages 4 through 12. She is a woman of deep faith whose life has always centered around her family, her church, and serving others with grace and love.

Recently, Melissa received the devastating diagnosis of Stage IV adenocarcinoma rectal cancer, which has spread to her lymph nodes in the surrounding areas, lungs, and liver. She is now undergoing aggressive chemotherapy in hopes of slowing the progression of the disease and giving her more precious time with her family.

Despite the pain and uncertainty, Melissa’s faith in God has not wavered. She and Tony are leaning into prayer, trusting that God is still good, and believing in His healing and provision. Their home is filled with love, laughter, and faith, even in the midst of hardship.

This journey has placed an incredible emotional and financial burden on Melissa and her family. Tony is doing everything he can to care for the kids, support Melissa, and keep their home running — but they cannot do it alone.

We are asking you to please consider coming alongside them during this difficult season. Your donation will help with:

- Medical costs and treatments not covered by insurance

- Transportation to and from appointments

- Childcare and household needs

- Lost income and essential living expenses

Most importantly, we ask for your continued prayers — for strength, healing, peace, and provision. Please pray for Melissa’s body, for Tony’s endurance, and for Leo, Gracie, Annie, and Adam as they walk this journey with their mom.

If you are unable to give financially, please consider sharing this campaign with others and lifting Melissa and her family up in prayer. We trust that God is holding them in His hands and working through the kindness of others like you.

Thank you for standing with them. Every gift, every prayer, and every word of encouragement is a blessing.
