Luwana Dyer has spent her life taking care of others: as a therapist, as an adoptive mother of six incredible teens, and in her animal rescue that saved hundreds of animals and helped them find loving homes. She deserves an amazing amount of credit for all of the help she has given, and now she’s the one who needs support.

Luwana was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She’s pouring a lot of energy into finding the most advanced and helpful treatment options—but many of these treatments aren’t covered by insurance, and the costs are intense (More than Luwana can afford).

She is working hard on recovery and treatment planning while trying to keep things steady at home. She hopes to return to work, but is unsure of when, and she shouldn’t have to carry all of this at once. She deserves some room to breathe and focus on getting well without worrying that she cannot afford to stay alive.

We hope this fundraiser will help cover her treatment costs, travel when her care takes her out of town, and giving her a bit of support at home while she gets through this.

Luwana has given so much to others over the years. If you’re able to give—even a little—it makes a real difference. And if you can share this with others, that helps too.

Thank you so very much!
