Dear Friends and Community Members,

My name is Stephen Blodgett, and I’m the husband of Dr. Bertha Kaumbulu—known to many of you as Dr. K. I’m writing to you today because Dr. K is currently facing serious health challenges. As many of you know, she has always poured her heart into serving others—through her teaching, her kindness, and her deep care for the community. Now, she needs our support.

Help Dr. K (Bertha Kaumbulu) Fight Cancer and Return to the Classroom

Dr. K is a passionate and dedicated sixth-grade teacher who has made a lasting impact on countless students. Her classroom is more than just a place of learning—it’s a space where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired.

Recently, Dr. K was diagnosed with cancer. She is facing this battle with incredible strength and resilience, but the journey is taking a toll—physically, emotionally, and financially.

Why This Teacher—and Your Support—Matters

Dr. K isn’t just a teacher—she’s a mentor, a role model, and a source of light for her students. She sees the potential in every child and works tirelessly to help them thrive. Now, she is unable to do what she loves most, and we’re asking for your help so she can focus fully on healing.

Your donation is more than just financial support—it’s a message of love, strength, and solidarity. It will help ease the financial burden of treatment and allow Dr. K to focus on recovery, with the hope of returning to her students stronger than ever.

When you support a teacher, you support every life they touch.

How You Can Help

Your donations and prayers are deeply appreciated. Contributions will go toward:

• Medical expenses including cancer treatments, prescriptions, procedures, and tests

• Travel costs related to medical care, including transportation and lodging

• Essential living expenses such as food, daily necessities, and at-home care

• Lost income due to time away from work for treatment and recovery

Every gift, no matter the size, makes a difference. On behalf of our family, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time.

With gratitude,

Stephen Blodgett
