Stand with Leah: Overcoming Cancer and Dermatomyositis

Donation protected


Our beautiful friend Leah is facing the unimaginable — a battle with both ovarian cancer and dermatomyositis, a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the muscles and skin.

In a bittersweet twist of fate, the dermatomyositis that made her sick is what led doctors to discover her cancer early, giving her a fighting chance. In the past few weeks, Leah has endured major surgery, IVIG treatments, and her first rounds of chemo, all with the courage, humor, and grace that define her.

Leah is a self-employed home appraiser and the devoted mom of two amazing kids, Jackson and Addy — one in college and one in high school. After losing their dad, Leah has been their rock and sole provider. Now it’s time for us to lift her up.

This fundraiser will help cover medical bills, recovery costs, and living expenses while Leah focuses on healing and spending precious time with her kids.

If you know Leah, you know her warmth, strength, and giving heart. Please consider donating, sharing her story, or sending prayers and encouragement. Every act of support reminds her she isn’t walking this road alone.

Thank you for standing beside Leah with love, faith, and hope as she fights her way toward recovery.
