If you’ve ever met Karla Zelvis, you know she doesn’t just walk into a room. She brightens it. She’s the kind of person who leaves you “have a good day” notes on Snoopy paper just because. The kind of friend who sings “darlinggg” when she sees you in the morning like life is a musical and you’re her favorite character. The kind of human who puts on a Beatles song and can’t help but dance, because joy is just something she carries and shares without even trying. That’s Karla. A kaleidoscope of color, a lover of art and music, and truly one of the grooviest souls you could ever be lucky enough to know. In the fall of 2023, Karla was diagnosed with breast cancer, and since then, she has been fighting with so much courage, grit, and heart. She’s doing the hard, exhausting work of showing up for treatment, pushing through the side effects, and holding onto hope on the days that feel heavy. But cancer doesn’t only take a toll physically. It also brings an overwhelming financial burden. Chemo costs, medications, appointments, and all the out-of-pocket expenses start stacking up fast. So we’re raising funds for Karla to help cover those costs. Not just to help with bills, but to give her something even more important. Breathing room. Because Karla deserves to focus on healing, not on stress. She deserves to rest without doing mental math all day. She deserves to feel held by the community she’s spent her life lifting up. If Karla has ever made you feel seen, or loved, or lighter, if she’s ever given you a note, a song, a laugh, a little burst of color on a gray day, this is our moment to give that back. Please donate if you can. And if you can’t, sharing this page is a huge help. Let’s surround Karla with the kind of love she’s always given so freely. Let’s help carry the weight. Let’s keep the music playing.
