Support Kaelyn's Fight Against Hodgkin's Lymphoma

The week of May 13, 2024, life took an unexpected turn for Kaelyn and her family. What initially seemed like a routine headache escalated into a whirlwind of concern as Kaelyn's symptoms worsened rapidly. Within days, she found herself in the emergency room, where medical tests unveiled a daunting reality: a significant mass in her chest, a diagnosis of Classic Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Stage IIA.

Despite the shock and uncertainty, Kaelyn's resilience shines through. She has bravely embarked on her treatment journey, facing 4 to 5 cycles of therapy, each lasting 21 days. Alongside her physical battles, Kaelyn's heart remains steadfastly focused on her loved ones. She's made it her mission to ensure they stay strong and supported throughout this challenging time.

As Kaelyn fights her courageous battle, her community stands unwaveringly by her side. Recognizing the financial strain that often accompanies medical treatment, we've come together to offer our support. This fundraiser aims to alleviate the burden of out-of-pocket expenses, from essential medical supplies to practical needs like transportation and sustenance during hospital stays.

The O'Brien family has long been a cornerstone of our community, selflessly giving of themselves in times of need. Now, it's our turn to give back. Let's rally around Kaelyn and her family, standing #KaelynStrong and embodying the enduring #O'BrienStrength that defines our community spirit. Together, we can provide comfort, strength, and hope as they navigate the challenging road ahead.
