On December 26, 2025, Keri received the phone call that changed everything. What she thought would be a routine update became the moment she heard the words no one ever wants to hear: “You have cancer.” Keri was diagnosed with Non‑Hodgkin’s B‑cell lymphoma, a cancer of the blood. Doctors found a large mass behind her heart and esophagus, causing severe pain and putting dangerous pressure on her heart. Because of where the mass is located, radiation isn’t an option. Her only path forward is 18+ weeks of chemotherapy.

Since her diagnosis, life has become overwhelming. Keri and her husband, Brian, have been juggling constant doctor appointments, long drives to specialists, CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, and lab work, along with the start of aggressive chemotherapy. Missed work and lost income have made things even harder, and medical bills, travel costs, food, rent, and everyday expenses are piling up faster than they can keep up with. No family should have to worry about basic needs while fighting cancer.

Your donation will go directly toward travel to and from treatments, medical bills and medications, rent and essential living expenses, food and daily necessities, and lost income from missed work. Every contribution — big or small — makes a real difference. Even sharing this page helps more than you know. Through all of this, Keri has stayed unbelievably strong. She said it best: “Cancer picked the wrong person — I will beat this.” Let’s surround Keri and Brian with the support they need during the hardest fight of their lives. Thank you for reading, donating, and sharing. Your kindness means the world to them. Together, we can help lift this burden and give Keri the space to focus on what matters most: healing.
