Support Sarah Hetrick's Journey with Breast Cancer

Every time I sit down to write this, the words don’t feel quite right. But, like life—imperfect, beautiful, and sometimes brutally hard—I’m putting this out here.

On behalf of my best friend, Sarah Hetrick—an incredible mom, devoted wife, loving sister, and fierce friend—I’m sharing her story and asking for your support.

On June 11, 2025, shortly after returning from a joyful trip to Puerto Rico and on the brink of starting an exciting new job, Sarah received devastating news: she has breast cancer. Like it so often does, cancer struck suddenly, turning her world and the world of those who love her upside down.

In just a few short weeks, her life has changed dramatically. Her medical team has created a treatment plan that includes at least six months of chemotherapy, multiple surgeries, and years of follow-up medication. Her doctors have moved quickly and she began chemotherapy this past Monday.

As many of you know, cancer doesn’t just come with physical pain and fear it brings an emotional, mental, and a financial toll. That’s why this GoFundMe exists: to rally behind Sarah and her family.

Your donations will help cover:

-Mounting medical expenses

-The additional costs of parenting with cancer

-Household needs during this difficult season

-Moments of rest and care that will help Sarah focus on healing

We’ve also included a link here to an Amazon Wish List .

Most importantly, we ask for your prayers—for Sarah’s strength, for her children’s comfort, and for her husband, Zach, who is balancing caregiving, parenting, and work all at once.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me or Ashlie Hall directly.

Thank you for showing up with love, generosity, and hope.

With deep gratitude,

Brittany DeFrehn
