<div>Editing to add that I am a friend of Anna’s and I set this up because that’s what we do, as mothers. We take care of each other and we fight like mothers. All donations will go directly to Anna. You are going to have to fight, Anna. You have so many mothers fighting for you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last night, these 2 beautiful, perfect children lost their lives in the most unimaginable way. No mother should ever have to experience this kind of pain. Especially Anna, who devoted her life to her family and to the community. To know her is to love her. Nothing I write here will bring her babies back and give her any sense of justice or peace. If we, her family and friends, can ease the financial burden of having to bury her children and her husband, it would be a relief

For James and Caroline

<div>As many of you may know, Tiffany’s health has been declining rapidly over the past year, and her journey has been nothing short of overwhelming.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In March 2025, Tiffany’s kidney transplant had to be removed after it caused her to become septic. Shortly after, she developed pneumonia. During follow-up scans, doctors discovered nodules surrounding her thyroid. In July, Tiffany was diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer. In August, she underwent surgery to remove her thyroid and several lymph nodes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>After a long recovery, Tiffany tried to return to work, but doing so caused her to become extremely ill both during her shifts and once she got home. Around the same time, she received devastating news — the cancer had returned. It later became clear that the cancer had metastasized and spread to her lungs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Since September, Tiffany has endured multiple hospitalizations and blood transfusions. On January 2nd, she required placement of a cardiac catheter due to declining heart function. Because of this, combined with fluid buildup related to kidney failure, Tiffany now requires supplemental oxygen to breathe comfortably.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On January 5th, Tiffany underwent another major surgery where doctors removed as much cancer as possible — a total of 23 nodules. The remaining cancer will be treated with radiation, which is scheduled to begin soon. On January 13th, she was life-flighted to Boston after severe neck swelling compromised her ability to breathe.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Once radiation is complete, Tiffany will face additional treatment for the cancer in her lungs and will also need to pursue another kidney transplant.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>As you can imagine, the financial burden has become overwhelming. Medical bills continue to pile up, and Tiffany’s FMLA and donated vacation time have been fully exhausted. She has now been forced to step away from work while continuing to fight for her life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Tiffany has been sick for more than half of her life. She has faced every challenge with strength, resilience, and grace — but she deserves a break. Any donation, no matter the size, would help ease the financial stress and allow Tiffany to focus on what matters most: healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for your kindness, support, prayers, and for sharing this fundraiser.

Support Tiffany’s Battle with Cancer Lupus & Kidney Failure

<div>Dear Friends, Family, and Loved Ones,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope this message finds you in good health and high spirits. Today, I come to you with a heavy heart, seeking your support for a dear soul in desperate need. Our beloved mother, Shawn Avara, has been courageously battling a series of health challenges since 2021, and her strength is an inspiration to us all.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It all began with a fateful fall in December of 2021, resulting in a broken collarbone that rendered her unable to continue her work as a talented hairdresser. This incident marked the onset of a two-year health journey that has tested her resilience in unimaginable ways.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In August of last year, Shawn's health took a perilous turn as she teetered on the brink of sepsis due to pancreatic disease, chronic pancreatitis, and deep vein thrombosis. These conditions left her with painful abscesses on her liver and pancreas, along with a series of blood clots, leading to extended hospital stays. Over the past year, Shawn has spent a staggering 105 days in the hospital, facing each day with unwavering strength.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Compounding her physical challenges, Shawn has been burdened with the weight of overwhelming medical bills, surpassing a daunting one million dollars. She has faced this financial crisis without the safety net of health insurance, a circumstance that no one should have to endure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In her pursuit of stability, Shawn applied for Social Security Disability Insurance over a year ago, clinging to the hope of an early eligibility. This past week, she received the heartbreaking news of a denial, further deepening the challenges she faces.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As if the weight of her health and financial struggles weren't enough, Shawn now finds herself on the precipice of homelessness. Her landlord has made the heart-wrenching decision to evict her from the home she has cherished for the past decade, giving her only a week to vacate the property.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear friends, the time has come for us to rally together in support of Shawn. She stands on the edge of a precipice, and it is our collective love, compassion, and generosity that can guide her back to solid ground.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With the funds raised, we hope to secure a small apartment that can offer her the stability and security she so desperately needs. Additionally, a portion will be allocated towards alleviating the immense burden of her mounting medical bills.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation, no matter the size, carries the power to change the trajectory of Shawn's life. Together, we can be the lifeline she needs in this moment of profound vulnerability. Your support, coupled with your prayers, will help to illuminate the path to recovery and renewal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Let us stand united, demonstrating the boundless strength of love and community. Together, we can be the beacon of hope that guides Shawn toward a brighter, healthier future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deepest gratitude and warm regards,
</div>
<div>Rachael Avara Child
