In the Fall of 2025, our family’s world changed when Elaina was diagnosed with Stage 3 Stomach and Esophageal Cancer. She bravely completed her first four rounds of chemotherapy and is now facing a major surgery before she can continue with the rest of her treatments. Throughout this journey, Elaina has shown incredible strength and determination. At the time of her diagnosis, she was balancing both a full-time and a part-time job, doing everything she could to support herself and our family. Unfortunately, the physical demands of her full-time job and the side effects of chemotherapy forced her to step away from that position, leaving her with only her part-time work as she continues to fight this battle. With the upcoming surgery this week, she will be unable to work for a few months.

As you can imagine, the financial strain has been overwhelming. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward covering Elaina’s medical bills, car payments, and caring for her beloved pets. By easing these burdens, we hope to give Elaina the space and peace of mind she needs to focus on her recovery and healing.

We are reaching out to our friends, family, and the wider community for support during this difficult time. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for Elaina and our family. Your kindness and generosity will help us ensure that Elaina can rest, heal, and look forward to brighter days ahead. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with us.
