My name is Kelleen. I am 43, a mom of two, and happily married for almost 25 years.

Recently, I received MRI results that revealed a lesion affecting my brainstem and medulla. After inconclusive testing from a spinal tap, my doctors are now moving forward with a very risky biopsy to determine the molecular nature of what is suspected to be a diffuse midline glioma.

As we step into this next phase, we are facing not only the emotional weight of the unknown, but also the very real financial burden that comes with it.

Between hospital visits, testing, specialist care, and the upcoming biopsy and treatment decisions, the medical costs are already adding up quickly. On top of that, this journey is impacting our ability to work consistently, creating additional strain on our family.

This is not easy for me to share. If you know me, you know I value strength, faith, and independence. But I also believe in community, and in allowing others to step in when life becomes too heavy to carry alone.

We are asking for help to ease the financial pressure during this time so we can focus on what truly matters: healing, faith, and taking each step forward with clarity and strength.

If you feel led to give, we are deeply grateful. If you are not in a position to donate, your prayers, encouragement, and sharing of this page mean just as much.

We are trusting God in the unknown, holding onto grace in the middle of this storm, and believing that even here, there is purpose.

Thank you for standing with us.
