If you know Naomi, you know her heart.
She is the kind of person who shows up fully in life. She loves fiercely. She puts her family first every single day. She is an incredible wife to my brother, Chris, and an extraordinary mom to their 13-year-old son, Hayden – who, as many of you know, has his own medical journey with Lowe syndrome. Naomi has always been the steady center of their world.
A few weeks ago, everything changed.
Naomi has been diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer that has already spread to multiple organs.
They are just beginning what will be a long and complex treatment journey. There are still conversations with doctors happening. There are still unknowns. But what we do know is this: it will be physically hard, emotionally exhausting, and financially heavy.
Naomi and Chris would never ask for financial help. In fact, they didn’t want to start this page. But when I offered to do it for them, there was an audible sense of relief. One stone removed.
The costs ahead will include medical deductibles, specialist visits, travel, time away from work, and making sure Hayden’s needs continue to be fully supported and stable. I want Naomi to focus on fighting. I want Chris to focus on being her husband. I want Hayden to feel secure and surrounded by love.
If you’re able to give, thank you. Truly.
If you can’t, please share this and keep them in your prayers.
We believe in hope.
We believe in community.
And right now, we’re asking you to help us surround Naomi with both.
