Support Danielle Shader's Cancer Battle

Help Danielle Shader Find Peace and Comfort in Her Cancer Journey

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

We’re reaching out on behalf of a truly remarkable woman — Danielle Shader. Danielle has recently been diagnosed with small cell carcinoma, an aggressive form of lung cancer. As she bravely faces this chapter of her life, our goal is to ensure she does so with dignity, peace, and without the heavy burden of medical expenses.

Danielle is not only a devoted mother and beloved Nana— she’s the heart of our family. Her love knows no bounds, and she has always been the first to offer help, comfort, and support to friends and loved ones alike. Whether through a listening ear, a kind word, or by opening her home to others, Danielle has touched the lives of so many beyond the walls of her family.

She also dedicated over 30 years of her life to teaching, touching countless lives with her wisdom, patience, and compassion. She wasn’t just an educator — she was a mentor, a cheerleader, and a second mother to many. Teaching wasn’t just her job — it was her passion, and she poured her heart into every single day in the classroom.

In addition to her cancer diagnosis, Danielle is also grieving the loss of her beloved husband of 40 years, who passed away in November 2024. Their love story was one of deep commitment, laughter, and resilience, and his passing has left an immeasurable void in her life. Facing cancer while navigating such profound loss has made this time especially difficult for Danielle.

Now, it’s our turn to give back to someone who gave so much.

This fundraiser is to help cover Danielle’s mounting medical costs and to make sure her days are filled with love, comfort, and care — not stress or financial worry. Whether it’s helping pay for treatments, palliative care, or simply giving her a peaceful and supportive environment, every dollar makes a difference.

Please consider donating whatever you can and sharing this page with others who may wish to help. Let’s show Danielle that the love she gave so freely to others is coming back to her tenfold.

With gratitude,

Tiffany, Jacquelyn, and Michael Shader
