Joe Chavez and Brittany Chavez are walking through an incredibly hard season, and their family needs the love, prayers, and support of their community right now. Joe has been diagnosed with metastatic renal cell carcinoma, and there are still many unknowns ahead. This week, Joe has a PET scan scheduled to learn whether the cancer has spread to other places, and the family is also preparing for an important meeting to discuss chemotherapy, radiation, and future treatment plans. Joe, Brittany, and their family are trusting God for strength, wisdom, and peace as they face each next step, and they would be so grateful to be lifted up in prayer.

Donations will help with upcoming medical expenses and help ease the financial strain while Joe is off work for appointments, treatment, and recovery. Because these needs may continue over time, recurring donations can provide steady support for the ongoing medical and household pressures this family is carrying, while one-time gifts are also deeply appreciated and helpful. Please do not feel pressured to give financially. Prayers are always appreciated and deeply wanted. Specific prayers right now are for wisdom and clarity at the meeting about chemotherapy, radiation, and future plans, and for Joe’s PET scan this week to show that the cancer has not spread to other places. Thank you for loving Joe, Brittany, and their family so well. For anyone who prefers to give another way, Brittany’s Venmo is @Brittanymariechavez.
