With a heart as big as her beautiful smile, Lauren Wiatrek touches so many lives with love and enthusiasm for God. As a mother of two beautiful girls (Halen and Henley), wife to a generous husband (Evan), and friend to her community, Lauren joyfully exemplifies a life as a Godly woman.

Heavy hearts surround them as Lauren bravely begins her second round of cancer. The breast cancer that rocked their family four years ago metastasized to her lungs, and now, Lauren faces a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis. Unlike that first battle, the oncologists tell her that prolonging life, not beating cancer, is the goal.

Per her doctor's recommendation, the Wiatreks plan to make memories with their girls, spend time with loved ones, and cherish her remaining time.

While her family still feels the financial impact from Lauren's first diagnosis, treatment and surgeries, in the upcoming weeks, Lauren will begin new treatment consisting of chemo pills and estrogen blockers to slow the growth of her cancer. As you can imagine, these treatments are not very affordable.

Please consider generously supporting Lauren's family to help cover the extensive costs of her numerous hospital stays in the past month, the estrogen blockers, and her upcoming comprehensive cancer treatments. She's taken her doctor's advice and her family's wishes to heart, and they're plotting out a care path and ready to start soon, but need help with the cost.

And most importantly, please keep Lauren, Evan, Halen, Henley and their family in your prayers. They have much to process and face as they move forward with their new reality. In addition to prayers for healing, please pray for God's name to be known and glorified through this and for each member of their family to be drawn into closer communion with Him.

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you.     
Isaiah 26:3
