Loving Coach Tiff
Donation protected
Update 9/25/18:
Tiffany is now on hospice care and is not able to visit any longer. We continue to pray for comfort and peace during this difficult time for her, Kevin, and the entire family.
The family is attempting to bring her brother Casey, his wife, and children home to see Tiff. Casey's children are Tiff's pride and joy alongside her Sentinel players.
We love you Tiff!

Tiffany has suffered her entire life from Cystic Fibrosis. Her fight has been long and difficult, but she has met every challenge in her way like a warrior. After a double lung transplant in 2012 led to rejection, she had a second transplant in 2014. She has continued to fight for her life with multiple bouts with cancer due to her suppressed immune system since the transplants. Tiff is now nearing the end of her journey as she is in chronic rejection again. We would like to to help her, her husband Kevin, and her family with the cost of final expenses when the time comes.
Tiff has been a fixture in girls basketball in Arizona since she was in high school. A standout player at Chandler High School, she won 2 state championships as a player. She went on to coach at Seton Catholic Prep and has been a part of 7 state titles as an assistant coach.
Tiff's greatest attribute beyond her skill as a player is her ability as a coach. She has an incredible and unique way of connecting with players and is able to bring out their best. Our Seton basketball family, and our entire community, is devastated by the reality of losing her too soon. There are simply no words to express the void that will exist when she is gone. Tiff has given all of heart to our players and school and we are forever grateful for her presence.
Tiff and Kevin are devote Christians and live their faith every day. A true love for Jesus Christ has helped power them through the medical struggles and the continued disappointment of diagnosis after diagnosis. God has given them great strength to persevere through their deep faith.
We hope you will please prayerfully consider a gift to help offset her final expenses. We are are forever grateful for any help that is provided.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
