Hi everyone,

As many of you know, my cousin Tootie (Ryniesha) is a very private person, but life has taken an unexpected turn. Recently, she was diagnosed with Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma, a rare but curable form of cancer. The last month has been filled with hospital visits, tests, and waiting for results — and now begins the toughest part: treatment and healing.

This diagnosis means Tootie will be unable to work for the next several months while focusing fully on recovery. Along with the emotional toll, there are major financial challenges — including medical bills, everyday living expenses, and the impact of lost income.

We are setting up this GoFundMe to help ease that burden so Tootie/Ryniesha can focus on what matters most: getting healthy and beating this cancer.

If you are able, please consider donating. Every dollar helps with hospital bills, prescriptions, transportation to treatments, and covering essential expenses during this time. If you’re not in a position to give, we would be grateful if you could share this page or keep her in your prayers.

On behalf of the Hewitt family, thank you so much for your love, support, and encouragement. We know Tootie is strong, and with the support of our community, we believe brighter days are ahead.

With love and gratitude,

James Hewitt & Family
