Summer is one of those rare people who spends her life helping others realize their worth. As a life coach supporting burnt-out executive women, she has dedicated her work to helping others find balance, strength, and healing.

This week, Summer underwent major cancer surgery and is facing a long recovery, all while parenting as a devoted single mother and continuing to provide for her boys without the safety net of employer insurance. For someone who is used to being the steady one for everyone else, being forced to slow down and focus on healing has been both humbling and challenging.

Her community has already shown incredible generosity by helping her transition homes and organizing meals for her family. The outpouring of care has been a testament to the impact she has had on so many lives.

This fundraiser is about giving Summer the gift of time and peace of mind while she heals. Contributions will help cover essential living expenses, including rent and recovery costs, so she can focus fully on her health and her children without the added stress of financial uncertainty.

Summer was hesitant to share a need for support. Like many strong women, she is more comfortable giving than receiving. But recovery has reminded her, and all of us, that even the strongest among us sometimes need a circle to hold them up.

If Summer has touched your life, inspired you, or simply represents the kind of woman we want to see supported in our communities, any contribution is deeply appreciated.

Most of all, thank you for being part of the network of care that allows her to heal with dignity, gratitude, and hope
