Liv has spent over two decades as a hairstylist and business owner, building a life in Vermont and raising three children as a single mom. Her dedication to her clients and her family has always been at the heart of everything she does. Now, at just 47, Liv is facing an unimaginable challenge: a diagnosis of advanced pancreatic cancer.

After struggling to book a timely appointment in Vermont and receiving a grim diagnosis at Dartmouth, Liv made the difficult decision to travel to The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for specialized care. The journey has been overwhelming, and her illness has forced her to stop working, leaving her without the income she relied on to support her family. As a single mom, Liv is especially concerned about caring for her 14-year-old daughter, while her two adult sons do their best to help.

Insurance does not cover many of the lifesaving treatments Liv needs, and the costs of travel, medical care, and childcare are mounting quickly. Your support will help Liv cover her living expenses in both Vermont and Minnesota, pay for the medical bills that insurance won’t touch, and ensure she can maintain comfort and mental clarity through this difficult time. If you’re able, please donate to help Liv and her family. If you can’t give, sharing her story or sending messages of encouragement is just as valuable. Every act of kindness makes a difference.
