Lauren is beloved by so many in the large community she is part of. She is an incredible mother, wife, friend, and family member who goes above and beyond for everyone around her. Her favorite role is mother - and those who love her know she is the best mom to Luca, Sonny and Micah.

This fall, Lauren experienced excruciating shoulder pain and after extensive testing and appointments she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer. Lauren has begun chemotherapy at Roswell and has a long road ahead. At this time, we know she will be doing chemotherapy, later surgery and several additional rounds of chemo. She and her family are still in the process of understanding what else may be needed along the way.

Lauren is the beating heart of the Pratt family and cherished by so many of us. The coming year will be very challenging for Lauren and the entire family. Brandon is taking a leave from work to support her and the kiddos and has been by her side every step of the way.

There will be many expenses ahead: traveling for surgery, more support for childcare and school, deductibles - all while Brandon is taking a step back at work.

There are many stresses that those of us who love the Pratt family cannot control, as much as we want to. One thing we can do is to ensure the family is not stressed about money. Let’s come together and raise the resources needed to ensure their family has what they need during this challenging time.

Please make a contribution that is meaningful to you.
