<div><strong>Support Jen in Her Fight Against Cancer</strong>
</div>
<div>Most of you reading this know Jen well and understand the joy, love, and kindness she brings to everyone around her. For those who may not, Jen is one of the most fun-loving and caring moms, wives, sisters, cousins, aunts, nieces, and friends you could ever meet. Her husband, Robbie, and their two daughters, Brooke (16) and Alexa (10), are the center of her world. She is about to celebrate her 43rd birthday on February 21st.
</div>

</div>
<div><strong>A Life-Changing Diagnosis</strong>
</div>
<div>On New Year’s Eve, Jen went to the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. After undergoing a CT scan and endoscopy, she received the devastating news: malignant tumors covered her entire stomach and the lower third of her esophagus. A week later, pathology results confirmed Stage IV Gastric and Esophageal cancer with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis, meaning the cancer had already spread to her abdominal lining.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many Stage IV cancers, this diagnosis is incredibly challenging. The median survival for Stage IV stomach cancer is around 13 months, with only 3% of patients surviving beyond five years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Needless to say, this news has been a heartbreaking and life-altering shock for Jen and our entire family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Fight Begins</strong>
</div>
<div>Since her diagnosis, Jen has been navigating nearly daily doctor’s appointments while enduring the physical pain of cancer, which has made it difficult for her to sleep and eat. On January 28th, she began an intensive chemotherapy and immunotherapy regimen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her treatment plan consists of receiving medication every two weeks in a grueling three-day process:
</div>
<div>•	Day 1: Chemo and immunotherapy drugs administered through her port at the cancer facility for several hours.
</div>
<div>•	Days 2-3: A pump attached to her port continues delivering the drugs for the next 46 hours while she’s at home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jen will undergo eight rounds of this treatment with the hope of shrinking the tumors. Although surgery to remove her stomach might be considered, two of the top cancer centers we consulted—Memorial Sloan Kettering and Johns Hopkins—expressed doubt due to the surgery’s extreme intensity and the likelihood of cancer returning elsewhere.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Exploring All Options</strong>
</div>
<div>We are committed to giving Jen the best possible fighting chance. In addition to traditional treatments, we are exploring integrative and alternative cancer therapies that may extend her life and improve her quality of life. We have an upcoming appointment with Envita, an integrative cancer center in Arizona, to learn about alternative treatments. However, these treatments come at a high cost—averaging around $150,000.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know of any specialists, experts, or promising treatment options, we are open to exploring every possibility.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Through this incredibly difficult journey, Jen has shown immense courage and resilience. She is determined to do whatever it takes to fight this disease and be there for her daughters for years to come.
</div>
<div>We humbly ask for your support in helping Jen focus on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds raised will go directly toward:
</div>
<div>•	Medical expenses and treatments not covered by insurance
</div>
<div>•	Travel costs to specialists
</div>
<div>•	Everyday bills, so she can concentrate on her recovery
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar makes a difference. Whether you can donate or simply share this page with your network, your support will help ease the financial burden and bring hope to Jen and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div>Jen has always been a pillar of strength, love, and kindness. Now, she needs us—her community—to rally around her. Let’s lift her spirits, show her she’s not alone, and give her the best possible chance in this fight.
