A Family in Crisis: Please Help Heather and Her Daughter Madelyn

Hi friends,

I’m writing with a heavy heart to ask for help for someone incredibly dear to me — my friend Heather and her family.

Heather’s daughter, sweet Madelyn, is courageously battling leukemia. Her father is also fighting cancer. And now, devastatingly, Heather’s mother has been given a terminal cancer diagnosis. One family. Three lives hanging in the balance. It's the kind of heartbreak that feels impossible to bear.

Heather is doing everything she can to be strong — for her daughter, her parents, and herself. But the emotional, physical, and financial strain is overwhelming. Between treatments, travel, caregiving, and bills piling up, they are in urgent need of support.

I created this GoFundMe to help lift some of that burden. Your donation will go toward:

Medical and treatment expenses

Transportation to and from hospitals and clinics

Hospice and end-of-life care

Daily necessities for Heather and her family as they fight through this storm

This is a family that has always shown up for others. Right now, they need us to show up for them.

Whether you can donate or simply share this, your support means more than you know. Every little bit helps.

Let’s surround Heather, Madelyn, and their family with love, strength, and hope. Thank you for being a light in this dark moment.

With love,

Emily
