Stand by Jessica in Her Cancer Battle

Hi, my name is Shannon, and I’m organizing this fundraiser for my dear friend Jessica Ryman, a vibrant, kindhearted and compassionate 46-year-old who is now facing the toughest fight of her life — Stage 3 lung cancer.

Anyone who knows Jess will tell you she is a strong, resilient, loving, and selfless person; one of those rare people whose positivity touches everyone around her. She’s the kind of friend who shows up for others and gives freely of herself; even when she’s quietly struggling herself. Now it’s our turn to show up for her, because even the strongest need support when life takes a sudden turn… and let’s be real we all know she will never ask for help.

What Jess Is Facing

Her diagnosis came as a shock. She is currently undergoing an aggressive combination of chemotherapy, and immunotherapy over the course of the next three months followed by radiation and 1 to 2 years of maintenance immunotherapy, and as you can imagine the physical toll is heavy. It’s not only physically grueling but emotionally draining. Through it all, she’s not alone, by her side every step of the way is her deeply devoted fiancée, who has been her rock supporting her through treatments, caring for her daily needs — all while balancing a full-time job and raising a child.

They are doing everything they can to stay strong as a family, but the toll is real. The emotional, physical, and mental strain of caregiving while also working full-time and parenting is exhausting.

This fundraiser is about giving them some breathing room. A way to ease the load while Jessica focuses on healing, and her family focuses on being there for her.

How You Can Help:

We are raising funds to help Jessica and her family focus on healing, not survival. Your support will go directly toward:

Meal Delivery

When energy is gone and side effects are overwhelming, pre-made nutritious meals delivered to her home will help her stay nourished and strong.

Safe Cleaning Help

Jessica’s treatment makes her especially vulnerable to

airborne irritants and strong chemicals. She needs help with:

• Fragrance-free, non-toxic home cleaning

• Dust and vent cleaning to improve air quality

• Light upkeep that supports her healing environment

Transportation

Some days, driving herself to appointments isn’t an option. Your

support will help cover ride-shares or medical transport to get

her where she needs to go safely.

❤️ Emotional Relief & Emergency Flex Funds

This will cover things like temporary caregiving, utility support,

and other unexpected costs — allowing Jessica and her

fiancée to focus more on health and less on how to make ends

meet.

You Can Make a Real Difference

Jessica has always shown up for others — now it’s our turn to

show up for her. Whether you’re able to give $5, $50, or simply

share this campaign, please know that every act of kindness

makes a real difference.

You’re not just giving money — you’re giving time, relief, and a sense of hope to a family that deeply needs it.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With gratitude,

Shannon
