Tauvia is one of the toughest people we know, and also one of the easiest to love. She’s the first to crack a joke, the first to make you feel comfortable, and somehow always the person who can pull a real laugh out of a room when everyone needs it most. She’s the light at every gathering, not in a performative way, but in that rare, magnetic way that makes people feel instantly welcome. She’s built a chosen family that’s truly unbeatable, and so many of us are lucky enough to be part of it.

Recently, she was diagnosed with stage 3 uterine cancer. This news has been a shock to all of us, and it’s hard to imagine someone so full of life facing such a difficult challenge. She’s worked two jobs to make ends meet, and now, as she begins treatment, she won’t be able to work at all for a while. The funds raised here will go directly toward her medical bills, living expenses, and treatments, helping to ease the financial burden so she can focus on healing.

This GoFundMe is a way for all of us, in one place, to show up for her the way she’s spent years showing up for everyone else. If you’re able to contribute or share, you’ll be helping someone who has always been there for others. Thank you for being part of her chosen family and for supporting her during this time.
