On June 10th, our family’s world changed forever when Aryanna (Ary), just 20 years old, was diagnosed with Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL), an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. In an instant, life looked completely different. Ary and her partner, Sawyer, were building their life together — making plans for the future and living as a young couple focused on what comes next. Instead, they were suddenly faced with a diagnosis and a fight neither of them ever expected.

Since her diagnosis, we have learned that the cancer is widespread, making this an incredibly difficult and urgent journey. Despite the challenges she is facing, Ary continues to show strength, courage, optimism, and the same kindness that has always defined who she is. She is compassionate, strong, full of love, and someone who has always made others feel supported and cared for. Now, she is the one needing that same love returned.

Ary and Sawyer are now navigating a long road of treatments, appointments, uncertainty, and challenges no young couple should have to face. Ary will be unable to work during treatment, which has created an unexpected financial burden for them during this time. We are asking for your support to help them through this journey. Donations will help cover medical expenses not fully covered by insurance, ongoing treatment, and everyday living expenses such as rent, utilities, food, and basic household bills. This fundraiser is a way for the many people whose lives Ary has touched to support her during this difficult journey. Any contribution — or simply sharing this page — is deeply appreciated. Thank you for supporting Ary and giving back to someone who has given so much to others.
