3/13 UPDATE: Hi all! I’m back to share the latest and ask for your continued love and support. Tiffany is doing incredibly well!! We are still so grateful to God for His healing and the news that she is cancer free!! ❤️

As she recovers from her massive surgery to remove the tumor, her needs continue. Tiffany is hoping to get back to work in April already, but definitely can’t work full time for another 6 to 8 weeks, at least. (She works manual labor, so I personally hope it’s later rather than sooner!)

Your support and generosity help to fill so many gaps, cover her needs financially, and give her peace of mind as she looks at the days ahead.

Since Tiff is her sole income provider, I know it can feel heavy to feel that need and urge to bring in more income and I want to help relieve that. So again and again, THANK YOU for sharing.

I believe we are all blessed *to be* a blessing and it’s been so beautiful to watch community gather around Tiffany during this wild journey!

Look how radiant our girl looks! Out walking in the snow

2/15 UPDATE: We have incredible news! Tiffany’s doctor came in (on his day off) to share that he got the biopsy results back.

Term of the day: “STUMP”!!!!! “Smooth Muscle Tumor of Uncertain Malignant Potential”

SHE DOESN’T HAVE CANCER!!!!

It sounds like their original thought of Leiomyosarcoma (a form of rare and aggressive cancer) was their best educated guess and assumption, but the biopsy is proving otherwise. We are SO thankful and relieved!! She will continue to be seen for scans a couple times per year for a while, to be sure.

Her doctor told her, “You are going to live a long, healthy life!”

(the kind of life-giving words I love to hear!!)

Tiffany seems to be doing very well in the hospital, especially as long as pain management goes well. She has stood up and walked with her walker, had visits from several people (including a very special 11 year old boy who lifted her spirits!), and is surrounded by prayer and support.

We can’t thank you enough! I personally can hardly believe this beautiful turn of events.

2/11 UPDATE: Tiffany’s surgery went wonderfully! The procedure went exactly as expected and hoped, and the doctors said she did great throughout. The tumor is out!!! We will know more probably by Monday when biopsy results come back.

Original Post, 2/2/26:

Our beloved Tiffany has shown up for everyone in so many ways, and we get to love and support her in the health journey ahead.

(This is Tiffany’s friend Kari running the GoFundMe)

Tiff just learned she has Leiomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that is rare and aggressive. We are sharing this with faith, humility, and trust in the Lord.

While this diagnosis has been heavy, her faith is unshaken. Tiffany is a strong warrior, as you know. Anchored in prayer, grounded in the Word, and fully trusting God to guide every step of this journey.

“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and He helps me.” — Psalm 28:7

Tiffany will be undergoing surgery soon. They will remove the massive tumor from

her abdomen as well as her uterus and ovaries. This surgery has 4 surgeons and will be followed by a bit over a week in the hospital, and then 6 weeks of recovery time (pray for her to stick with the plan of doing nothing!).

Afterward she plans to pursue a natural, integrative healing approach whenever possible— supporting her body as God designed it, strengthening her immune system, and caring for her whole being: body, mind, and spirit.

This path includes:

• Surgical and medical expenses

• Natural and supportive therapies not covered by insurance

• Recovery support, travel, and time away from work

• Ongoing care focused on long-term healing and restoration

Our prayer is to lift the financial burden, allowing Tiffany to focus fully on healing and recovery.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1

If you feel led to give, any amount is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, prayers, encouragement, and sharing this page mean more than we can express.

We believe God is still a miracle-working God, and we are trusting Him completely as Tiffany walks this road with courage, faith, and grace.

With gratitude and huge Tiffany-style hugs,

Kari Lewis
