Meet my cousin Kelli. Kelli is a mother of two and a special education teacher.

Kelli and her husband Rich have two children, Wesley and Bailey. Wesley is attending college and he’s also a volunteer firefighter. Their daughter Bailey is also in college.

Kelli has been diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma. This can be cured but Kelli will need five months of chemotherapy.

Kelli has often said that laughter is one of her favorite sounds. The mountains that surround her home takes her breath away. Hugs from her loved ones feel like the safest, most content place to be.

Kelli has always been close with her family. Growing up in their house saying good night and I love you was required. This is a tradition she has carried on with her own children. This is just who Kelli is. She is genuine, compassionate and truly kind. Her family falls asleep every night feeling safe, secure and knowing that they are loved.

We have started this Go Fund Me account to help her family get through this difficult time. Over the next few months they will need to be at countless doctors appointments, hospital stays, their will be prescriptions, and every day living costs.

Any donation amount is helpful and all prayers are welcome. This will allow Kelli’s family to focus on Kelli getting well.

Thank you so much for your support, love and prayers.

Healing is not for cowards.

It is hard and painful and

heart wrenching.

But it is also brave and beautiful

and strong.
