Support Tara Noel's Cancer Journey

Hello friends, family, and colleagues! Many of you may know that Tara Noel was recently diagnosed with stage 3 brain cancer. She was driving home to visit with family when she was struck with debilitating symptoms including loss of feeling and movement in half of her body and blurred vision. She was immediately rushed to the hospital where tests and scans confirmed that there was a massive tumor on her brain. The news has hit her family and friends hard, but Tara is choosing to fight this battle! Tara has begun radiation treatments but has a long road ahead that involves a year of chemotherapy. With the news of this long journey ahead, Tara is unable to return to work, drive or maintain a relatively normal lifestyle. She is a 37 year old, single mother of two beautiful children, Maddison, 15, and Trey, six months. Tara has devoted much of her life to caring for the youth serving as a special education teacher for more than 8 years and went on to further her education with a Masters degree where she took on the role of a diagnostician.

With the realization of Tara not being able to return to work, her family and friends are rallying to make life for her throughout this journey as easy as possible. The costs of treatments, therapy and maintaining her day to day expenses will be difficult without your help. We are encouraged by her strength to fight and refuse to give up hope. Tara is unbelievably witty, full of laughter, loving, kind, selfless and handling this all with such grace. She is so grateful for all of the texts, voice messages, and calls and asks that you continue to encourage her moving forward. We are so grateful for your prayers and support.
