STONE GRACE

Gracie Stone is facing breast cancer for the second time — with strength, faith, and resilience. Stone Grace is a community effort to give her stability and support while she completes treatment and focuses on healing.

Who Gracie Is:

Gracie Stone is the kind of person who makes people feel welcome, seen, and encouraged. Many of us came to know her through the local music community, where she worked at a live-music venue and quickly became one of its most beloved supporters. Always upbeat, always kind, and always genuinely present, Gracie has been a bright, steady presence for musicians and friends alike.

She grew up in the rural South, surrounded by family, strong values, and a deep faith that continues to ground her today. Known for her sharp humor, steady composure, and big heart, Gracie carries herself with resilience and grace — even under pressure.

Her Cancer Journey

Gracie was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. After treatment and radiation, she was declared cancer-free and returned fully to life — working, contributing, and supporting others with the same positivity she’s always had. For nearly a decade, she lived life to the fullest and never allowed cancer to define her.

Last year, breast cancer returned in a more aggressive form. Treatment has been physically demanding and has made it impossible for Gracie to work. Side effects including fatigue, neuropathy, brain fog, and a weakened immune system have made even daily tasks difficult. As a result, her savings have been exhausted, and she is struggling to cover basic living needs while finishing treatment.

Grace was declared cancer-free and had her final Chemo on April 6, 2026. She rang the bell! She still faces at least one more surgery, and cannot return to work quite yet.

Why STONE GRACE Exists

Stone Grace exists to provide stability, dignity, and breathing room while Gracie completes treatment.

Funds raised help cover basic living expenses — including rent, food, and medications not covered by insurance during the remainder of her treatment. Monthly support provides the greatest stability, though one-time gifts of any size make a meaningful difference.

Looking Forward:

Through this experience, Gracie has gained deep insight into patient care and hopes, once healthy, to become a patient advocate — helping others navigate the fear, isolation, and uncertainty that so often accompany cancer and chronic illness. Even now, her instinct is to look outward and help others.

This campaign is about community — standing with someone who has spent her life lifting others. If Stone Grace resonates with you, please consider donating or sharing this page. Every contribution helps Gracie focus on healing instead of survival, and your support truly matters.

About the Organizers:

This campaign is organized by Colette Wagoner, Gracie’s friend and fellow breast cancer survivor and her husband Rick Wagoner, a longtime friend and advocate within the local music community space. Colette is coordinating the Stone Grace campaign to ensure clarity, transparency, and consistent updates. This is a dignity-forward, transparent effort centered on resilience and community support.
