Hello! We sincerely hope that 2025 is starting out happy and healthy for you and your loved ones. Unfortunately, our friends Nikki and Pat Cheff have been on a complicated health journey since January of 2024. Through these 12 months, Nikki has endured 26 ER visits and 107 extended hospital admissions. During these days, Nikki has experienced excruciating pain and continuing fear of the unknown. Of course, Nikki has been unable to work. Pat has continued working to cover everyday expenses as medical bills continue to grow.

Recently, Nikki’s case was referred to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. An enhanced scan revealed a possible condition that led to a diagnosis (SMAS if you are interested in researching this complicated condition). After months of pain and worry, a path forward is being planned for future treatment.

Our friends are in great need of our spiritual, emotional, and financial support for travel, lodging, and continuing expenses at home. Pat will not be able to work while in Scottsdale, adding to the stress of this situation. Anything you are inclined to donate will be very much appreciated.

Funds will go towards travel expenses, rent, utilities, prescriptions and medical bills.

“No one has ever become poor from giving.”

Peace and love to you and yours,

Shawna and Michelle
