Stand With Lori and the Coble Family - A Beloved Family Facing Another Unimaginable Challenge
In 2007, our hearts broke as a community when Lori and Chris Coble endured the unimaginable — the loss of their three beautiful children, Kyle, Emma, and Katie — in a tragic accident on Interstate 5 in Mission Viejo. It was a pain no parent should ever experience, yet Lori and Chris carried that grief with unimaginable strength and grace.

In the years that followed, our prayers were answered when Lori and Chris welcomed their triplets — Ellie, Ashley, and Jake — now thriving high school seniors. Their birth brought light to a dark time and reminded us all of hope, resilience, and the power of love.
For a while, it seemed they had found the "Happily ever after" they so deserved.
But today, this family faces a new and deeply painful chapter.
Lori, who is 48 yrs old, was recently taken to the ER after experiencing troubling symptoms. There, she received a devastating diagnosis: Stage IV Glioblastoma, an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer. Emergency surgery removed 80% of the tumor. The remaining tumor is located behind her right eye — an area too delicate for full removal.
Since the surgery, Lori has lost vision in one eye and motor control. There is hope that some motor function will return with therapy, but the road ahead is steep and uncertain. As if that weren’t enough, doctors also discovered a separate mass in her breast — unrelated to the brain cancer — that may require a double mastectomy.
Lori will soon begin an intense regimen of chemotherapy and radiation, along with physical therapy and continuous care at home. While she fights for her life, Chris is trying to manage his full-time job, care for Lori, and support their three teenagers — all while holding together a home that has already weathered more loss than most can imagine.
This is simply too much for one family to carry alone.
We are asking you — our community, friends, neighbors, and kind-hearted strangers — to once again wrap this family in your love and support.
Please donate if you can.
