If you know Bethany "Shack" Shackelford, you know she’s the kind of person who makes everyone feel like a friend — even if you’ve just met her. She’s the life of the party, a familiar face around the Springfield community, a dedicated softballer (Go Lady Woodchucks!) , and gives 100% at her massage therapy business where she’s spent years helping others feel their best.

Right now, Bethany needs that same love and support returned.

She just underwent surgery and will be out of work for about 3 months as she focuses on recovery. During this time, she’s facing significant medical expenses along with the everyday costs of living — all while being unable to generate an income. If you're a small business owner, you know how hard this would be!

This fundraiser is meant to ease that burden, allowing Bethany to focus on healing without the added stress of finances. Funds raised will go directly toward:

  • Medical bills and recovery-related expenses
  • Rent, utilities, groceries, and daily living needs
  • Supporting her while she’s unable to run her massage therapy business

Bethany has always shown up for others — whether it’s cheering from the sidelines, lending a listening ear, or making someone feel welcome and cared for. Now, it’s our turn to show up for her.

If you’re able to donate, share, or send a message of encouragement, it would mean the world. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps remind Bethany just how loved she is.

Thank you for supporting Bethany and being part of the incredible community that surrounds her. We love you, Shacky!
