Help Us Support an Incredible Friend, Teacher, and Mother on Her Healing Journey

We are reaching out with heavy hearts and hopeful spirits to rally around someone truly special—our dear friend, an extraordinary teacher, devoted wife, and loving mother—who is now facing an unexpected and overwhelming medical emergency.

To know Trish is to love Trish. She is one of those rare people who brings light wherever she goes. Her kindness is boundless, her support unwavering, and her energy infectious. Whether you’ve been a student in her classroom, a colleague in the hallways, a friend in need, or a neighbor down the street—she’s likely shown up for you in some way. That’s just who she is.

As the best teacher, she has inspired countless young minds with her passion, patience, and vibrant energy. Her students absolutely adore her, not just for the lessons she teaches, but for the warmth and joy she brings into the classroom every single day. She has a rare gift, and the lives she touches are forever changed.

Beyond the classroom, she is a remarkable and awesome friend—the one who answers the phone at 2 a.m., shows up unasked when you need help, and always puts others before herself. As a wife and mother, her love is immeasurable and her strength knows no bounds. She loves those handsome boys and the person who has been the strongest of all, her rock, her support, her hubby, Stephen.

Now, she needs us to show up for her.

This medical setback has taken a significant toll—physically, emotionally, and financially. As she focuses on healing and regaining her strength, we are hoping to lift the weight of financial stress from her and her beautiful family. Your support—whether through a donation, a kind word, or sharing this campaign—will go directly toward medical costs, recovery support, and the everyday essentials that are so easily overlooked during times like these.

We love her deeply. And we believe in the power of community, of kindness, and of coming together when someone we care about needs us most.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for considering a gift of support. Every bit helps, and every gesture matters.

With gratitude and love,

The Stillwell Pumpkin Patch
