Run With Roofus for Rachel's Recovery

Rachel Steen's Journey
Rachel Steen, a single mother, faces a profound challenge after being diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer discovered unexpectedly during a dental check-up. Her condition required extensive surgeries that removed significant portions of her palate and part of her nose, severely impairing her speech.

These surgical interventions, while life-saving, have left Rachel struggling with daily interactions and unable to work, exacerbating her financial burdens. The reconstructive surgery she needs to regain her speech and functionality is priced at $19,000 and is not covered by her insurance, classifying it as "cosmetic."

Pelican Roofing is committed to helping Rachel overcome this hurdle by organizing a fundraising initiative to cover the costs of her surgery. We call on the community to join us in this heartfelt effort. Your support can help restore not just Rachel’s speech but also her ability to lead a more normal life. Every donation counts and brings Rachel closer to recovery and hope.


Run With Roofus
Starting April 9th, Pelican Roofing’s “Roofus” will run a 5k every day for 30 days to spread awareness and raise funds to support Rachel's journey. If you see a Pelican running around South Louisiana, that’s Roofus doing what he can to spread awareness!

Rachel has enough to focus on without having to wonder how she can afford to have this life-changing reconstructive surgery, which will significantly improve her quality of life. Will you donate to support someone in our community who has fallen on hard times?

You can donate to her cause below. Please share with your family and friends so we can get Rachel the help she needs!
