Hi there Family & Friends,

Many of you joined us months ago to support Karen, Jared and their girls as they embarked on the first steps into Chemo & the beginning of Karen’s healing journey. We were BLOWN away by your generosity & hearts to support them!

There have been many of you reaching out again to find out how you can partner with them as the journey continues, so we thought we’d open up this Go Fund Me again. There have been some new developments in Karen’s Healing story and ways you can support as it unfolds.

They have travelled a long road with many difficult moments to navigate and yet their faith & resolve to live from HOPE in God has been unwavering! In Karen’s words recently “Our God is faithful and so good even in the midst of the storms we face.” “We’ve passed through fire and flood, yet in the end you always bring us out better than we were before, saturated with your goodness.” Psalms‬ ‭66:12‬ ‭TPT‬‬ Better than before! This is our God!”

In recent days Karen and Jared were needing to make some decisions for next steps in Karen’s treatment plan. After much prayer and consultation with her oncologist they decided to embark on a few months of natural medicine treatment. Her body needs some nourishment while also targeting areas for healing. With the support of their medical team they have discovered some intensive and focused treatments to do just this!

Karen had her first infusion recently and shared this.. “Hey guys, yesterday I had my first visit to the IV clinic. Here I am with some good nutrients being pumped into my body. How good this felt after all the rounds of chemo! To know that I am nourishing my body and bringing it back into its best self at this time is such a gift. I am excited about the journey ahead.”

How can you help you ask?

Natural treatment is both wonderful and costly. For those of you who would like to support Karen in receiving these life enhancing treatments you can do so by donating what ever you feel in your heart to give.

Jared & Karen cannot express how grateful they are for those of you who wish to be a part of their journey in this way!

The Grant & Smit Tribes are also in awe of this community of support & strength for Jared and Karen. Words can’t describe our deep gratitude!

Much Love & Thanks
