Support Clara's Fight: Cancer Battle & Care

Help Clara in Her Fight Against Cancer

In the past month, our dear friend Clara received devastating news—she has cancer. Clara has always lived a healthy, active lifestyle—running, eating well, and even discovering a love for paddleboarding last summer. When she began experiencing hip pain, doctors initially thought it was nerve-related, leading her to undergo injections and physical therapy. Unfortunately, her pain worsened, and after struggling to keep food down, she went to the ER. By the next morning, she learned that cancer had spread throughout her body.

During her hospital stay, she required two life-saving blood transfusions before she was stable enough to transfer to Iowa to be with her family for treatment. Clara has already undergone five rounds of radiation to her brain and will be starting chemotherapy next week.

We want to support Clara through this unimaginable journey by easing the financial burden of medical expenses, treatments, and lost income. Every donation, big or small, will help her focus on healing without the stress of mounting costs. If you’re unable to contribute financially, your prayers, kind words, and sharing this fundraiser mean the world.

Let’s come together as a community to lift Clara up during this time. Thank you for your love and support!
