Please Help Heather Ryland in her Healing Journey with Cancer. Heather has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Rectal Cancer metastasized to interpelvic lymph nodes. As a single mom and primary breadwinner, she needs her community's help with her care while supporting her family and their basic needs.

Heather Ryland (Auralite) has served her community the last 23 years as a minister, spiritual guide, energy practitioner, channel, teacher, author, aromatherapy alchemist and a facilitator of Women’s Empowerment Circles and Spiritual Creative Workshops all while raising her two children as a single mom and pursing her education through 2 undergraduate degrees and a graduate degree with a specialization. She has worked very hard with her own personal expansion and spiritual growth while raising her children to be exactly who they want to be while being fully loved and supported. She also served as a guide for many in her spiritual, healing community and her chosen family holding a safe, sacred, loving space for their healing, spiritual expansion and creative life expression empowering each to step fully into their truth and sovereign power.

Now, it is time for Heather to receive help during a very difficult time. She has given so much to so many with an open heart and loving, expansive soul for over two decades. Heather has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Rectal Cancer metastasized to interpelvic lymph nodes. She has been very ill for over a year now. Most loved ones did not know until two months ago what she had been struggling with, including her own children. She has struggled in silence and now she needs her community and chosen family to help her.

In addition to her health struggles, she and the children are needing to move due to their landlord needing to sell the condo that they have lived in for two years. Heather is urgently trying to move by the end of June, so that she may start treatment by the beginning of July. Her cancer team has proposed 3 months of chemo, 6 weeks of radiation with chemo then surgery. As most of you know, Heather is passionate about holistic therapies and using food and plants as medicine. She desires to use an integrative approach to her healing using food, plants, counseling, acupuncture, lymphatic drainage massage, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, nature connection and spiritual healing along with conventional therapies proposed by her doctors.

She used all her savings along with some love donations from friends and family to reach a diagnosis that took almost 2 months and over $5000. With all the doctor’s appointments, tests and labs thereafter, she has already accrued over $10,000 in debt, and her treatments have not even begun. She also needs the funds to cover a moving team for hire with truck and deposits for moving and turning on utilities.

Heather is the primary breadwinner for her family and has also not been able to work much in over 3 months other than a few distant clients. She has been too ill and too weak to work in public since January. Heather and her children, Magdalena and River need our help during this time with family counseling, moving costs, covering their bills, basic needs and food and health care especially over the next 9 months of treatments. If you can spare some monetary support in love donations and share this information with others, it would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to share links with others on your social media platforms as well. Heather, Magdalena and River greatly and humbly appreciate any help they can receive during this challenging time.

Many Blessings and Love to you all.
