My name is Hayley Carroll. I am 27 years old and I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids and now raising my kids here.

In December of 2025, I went to the hospital in severe pain and left with life-changing news... I have terminal cancer with a survival rate around 23%.

I have a 3 and 4-year-old at home who I have to think about. I am going to fight cancer until I physically can't fight anymore. But I need to get things in line for them. I want to be able to leave money for them as well as have the finances to pay bills to stay in my home during treatment and to be able to fulfill my bucket list. My final goal is to be able to have my funeral paid in full before I pass so my family doesn't have to think about the finances of it while helping my young daughters grieve. Any help is so greatly appreciated.
