Lend a Hand to the Bresnahan Family

Hi everyone,

I am reaching out on behalf of my incredible friend, Stephanie Bresnahan, who was recently diagnosed with an Oligodendroglioma brain tumor (Grade 2). Stephanie is one of the strongest, kindest, and most generous people I know. Now, she is preparing to undergo surgery, chemotherapy, and potentially other treatments. The road ahead is filled with uncertainty, but if anyone can face this with courage and grace, it is Stephanie.

If you know the Bresnahans, you know they're the first to show up for others and the last to ask for help. But this journey, physically, emotionally, and financially, is more than one family should face alone.

While the Bresnahans have worked hard and have been fortunate in many ways, no one prepares for the kind of costs that come with a serious medical diagnosis. Between out-of-pocket medical bills, time away from work (for both Steph and Bryan), and the unpredictability of what's to come, the financial strain will also be unpredictable.

It can be hard to ask for support, but life humbles us all in unexpected ways. This fundraiser is about easing some of the pressure so Stephanie and Bryan can focus on healing, not logistics.

If you're able to contribute, we are deeply grateful. If not, sharing this page or sending love is just as meaningful. Thank you for standing by the Bresnahans and showing them they're not in this alone.

If you are able to donate, every dollar will go directly to supporting Stephanie's treatment, recovery, living expenses, and outings for Deacon and Dylan. If you cannot give financially, sharing this page or sending prayers and love is just as valuable.

Thank you all for being part of Steph's support system.

With love and gratitude,

Jen Panger (Kempen)
