Support Katrina's Family And Her Fight Against Cancer

Support Katrina Drayton and Her Family in Their Fight Against Cancer

Katrina Drayton—a devoted wife and mother to Lily (16), Kale (12), and Makayla (9)—has been courageously battling cancer for the past five years. In 2019, she was first diagnosed with cervical cancer, leading to a hysterectomy. At the time, it seemed like life could move forward. However, in early 2022, Katrina faced a recurrence and began an intensive treatment journey, including chemotherapy and 33 rounds of radiation.

Despite the challenges, Katrina showed incredible strength and resilience. By the end of 2022, her scans looked promising, but heartbreak followed as her mother passed away from the same illness. Early in 2023, Katrina’s fight took another turn when cancer was found in her liver. Surgery and further treatments brought brief hope, but the disease has continued to spread. This year has brought numerous hospital stays, and the journey has been deeply challenging for Katrina and her family.

Through it all, Katrina’s husband, Brian, has worked tirelessly to support the family, but the mounting medical expenses have become overwhelming. Katrina’s strength and perseverance inspire everyone who knows her, and though she was initially hesitant to accept help, she now recognizes the power of community in times like this.

This GoFundMe is an opportunity to ease some of the financial burden on Katrina’s family. All donations will go directly toward medical bills and supporting the Draytons through the holidays.

In addition, you can support them by dining at Ole Marley’s Bistro in Columbia City on December 6th, 7th, and 8th, where a portion of all sales will benefit the Drayton family.

Every contribution—no matter how small—makes a difference. Thank you for standing with Katrina and her family during this difficult time.
