On Christmas Day, our family received news no one is ever prepared for. What should have been a time of joy, warmth, and celebration instantly became a moment of fear and uncertainty. Marilyn Falu was diagnosed with cancer—and just days later, on January 6th, we learned it is Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, an aggressive form that requires immediate and unwavering attention. Marilyn is the heart of our family. She is a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who has spent her life caring for others—always showing up, always giving, always putting herself last. Now, she is facing the fight of her life, and we are determined that she does not fight it alone.
Cancer brings more than just treatment—it brings overwhelming financial strain. Copays, deductibles, frequent appointments, medications, testing, and ongoing care costs quickly become unmanageable, even with insurance. On top of this, we are working to support Marilyn with an alkaline-based diet, natural herbs, and holistic care to strengthen her body as she fights this aggressive disease. These supportive therapies are essential but largely out-of-pocket.
Our greatest fear is not just the diagnosis—it’s the added stress that no one talks about. We are trying to lift every financial burden so Marilyn does not feel pressure to return to work before her body is ready, or anxiety over how bills will be paid. She needs all of her energy, strength, and focus directed toward one thing: fighting to live.
Every donation—no matter the amount—helps cover critical medical costs and gives Marilyn the ability to rest, heal, and breathe without fear. Every share brings hope. Every prayer matters more than we can express. Marilyn has spent her life being there for everyone else. Today, we are asking for help being there for her. If you are able to give, please know your kindness is not just financial support—it is time, peace, strength, and love. And if you cannot donate, sharing this fundraiser means more than you know. From the depths of our hearts, thank you for helping us give Marilyn the chance to focus on healing, to feel supported, and to know—without a doubt—that she is deeply loved.
