Support Linn's Battle Against Metastatic Cancer

Hi, my name is Evan Ripka, and I’m creating this fundraiser for my incredible mother, Linn, who is currently fighting the most difficult battle of her life. She has been diagnosed with terminal metastatic breast cancer that has spread to her brain, spine, lungs, liver, and spleen.

My mom is the heart of our family. She’s the one who held us together through every storm, offered unconditional love, and always put others before herself. Now, it’s our turn to be there for her.

This journey has been incredibly hard—physically, emotionally, and financially. The costs of treatment, medications, frequent hospital visits, travel, and at-home care are overwhelming. On top of that, the toll this illness takes means she is unable to work, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure she’s comfortable and surrounded by love and support.

We’re asking for your help—whether it’s a donation, a share, or a prayer. Every contribution goes directly to her medical expenses, travel for treatments, and easing the burden of day-to-day costs so we can focus on what matters most: giving her the best possible care and surrounding her with love.

My mom has always been a fighter, full of grace, strength, and resilience. She continues to inspire us every day with her courage and positivity, even through the hardest moments.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for being part of our support system. We are forever grateful for your kindness.

With love,

Evan Ripka and Family
