Hello,

my name is Britney Payne,

In 2018 My husband Trey Payne was diagnosed with stage II Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, after a year of radiation and chemotherapy. My husband beat cancer. It was not even a year later in December of 2019 we were informed the cancer was back, and this time it was stage III. In March of 2020 Trey did chemo, and a stem cell transplant. Despite everything we had going up, Trey remained in good spirits. Things were starting to look up for us a family, and our children even felt some relief. Trey was working again, and I thought we were ok. You never know truly know the impact cancer can have on someone, until you or your loved ones are battling the demon called cancer. September 2020 we were informed once again my husband’s cancer was back for a 3rd time. In 2021 my husband begins another round of chemo, and with the help of my sister-in-law agreeing to be his donor, another stem cell transplant.

​Although we went through this as a family. It was difficult to accept this, as our new normal. My husband never missed a beat. He was still being the man of the house. He was an excellent husband, father, but more importantly, he was the provider. Even without reliable transportation, my husband never stopped taking care of his family. He went on for the next 3 years cancer free. Which was like a breath of fresh air, after all we had been through. May 10th, 2024, once again we were informed the demon called cancer was back, but this time it was a different type of cancer. Myelodysplastic Syndrome, and this one most definitely took a major toll on my husband physically, mentally, and emotionally. As a result of this type of cancer, my husband was unable to work, due to many reasons. Just walking, or standing was a task for him, not to mention being in, and out of the hospital for long period of time. Through it all my husband never lost his faith. He knew God would provide On Wednesday January 8th, 2025; my husband Trey Payne was moved into Hospice Care. Where he faced the reality of what was coming next. He was able to enjoy his family, he laughed, talked, and found a sense of peace, he had been longing for. He just wanted to know me, and the kids would be ok. Sunday January 12th, 2025, my husband Trey Payne loss his battle with cancer. For the last six years of our lives, we have made many sacrifices, some may even say suffered. Bills accumulate every day, they never stop. Trying to get from point A to point B is draining for me as a wife, and a mother. It is taking every ounce of energy in me, to even think right now, I am just numb, but I have 2 children who still need their mother. I don’t like asking for help, but the reality is, I need the help. Finances right now we don’t have finances at all. Whatever God places on your heart to donate, my children, and I would greatly appreciate it. Every little bit helps. Thank you all in advance for listening to our story.
