</div>Kayla and the Locke family have received the news no one was praying for.

After weeks of appointments, scans, travel, and waiting, Kayla’s biopsy has shown glioblastoma. <br /><br />Doctors are still waiting on one final layer of genetic testing to better understand the exact type and how to treat it, but they have made it clear that aggressive treatment needs to begin quickly.

Kayla will likely begin radiation within the next one to two weeks. Once treatment starts, she may need to be away from home for up to six weeks, most likely traveling to Minnesota for care. The final biopsy results may adjust parts of the treatment plan, including the amount or timing of chemo, but the urgency remains the same.
<br /><br /> While this diagnosis is devastating, there are a few pieces of hope they are holding onto. Doctors believe they caught this early, and one of the tests showed that the tumor has a weakness to chemo, which is not always the case.<br /><br /> The financial burden has already been overwhelming. Because they are self pay, it was $5,000 just for Kayla to be seen at the Mayo Clinic, and a $133,000 bill for  her biopsy. That does not include travel, lodging, food, continued medical care, treatment, bills, or the everyday expenses that do not stop during a crisis.
<br /><br /> Neither Kayla nor Adam have been able to work during this time. Kayla has also had to refund many client sessions while navigating this diagnosis and preparing for treatment.

These funds will help their family in every possible way. Medical care, travel, Airbnb, meals, gas, bills, time away from work, and giving them room to breathe while they focus on Kayla’s health and their kids.
<br /><br /> If you have already donated, thank you. Truly. Every dollar, prayer, message, and share has meant so much to this family.

If you are able to give, please do. If you are not able to give financially, please share this fundraiser. It takes just a few seconds, but every share gives Kayla’s story a chance to reach someone who can help.
<br /><br /> Please continue to pray for Kayla, Adam, their kids, her doctors, and the treatment plan ahead. Let’s keep showing up for the Locke family. They need us now more than ever.

Support for the Locke Family During Medical Crisis

To our family and friends, we humbly ask that you lift Emosi and Sammy up in prayer during one of the most difficult times they have ever faced. Emosi, one of my Soldiers in 1 SFG (A), is walking through the heartbreaking possibility of losing someone he loves deeply, and the days ahead are filled with uncertainty. Please pray for strength when they feel weak, peace when fear and worry become overwhelming, comfort during every difficult moment, and wisdom for the medical team caring for Sammy. Above all, we pray that God's presence will surround them with His love, grace, and hope. 
<br>
<br>
 During this incredibly challenging time, the emotional burden has also been accompanied by unexpected financial strain. Medical expenses, travel from JBLM to Seattle, time away from work, food, and other unforeseen costs are adding to an already overwhelming situation. If you are able and feel led to help financially, any contribution—no matter the amount—would be a tremendous blessing and would help ease some of the burden Emosi and Sammy are carrying. 
<br>
<br>
 Most importantly, we ask that you continue to keep Emosi and Sammy in your prayers. Your love, encouragement, generosity, and faithful prayers mean more to them than words can express. Please help a beloved Soldier who gives his all for this country. Thank you for standing beside them during this difficult journey. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, compassion, and support.

Support for Emosi and Sammy

<div>Friends, this is so hard for me to write but I am in desperate need of help for my son and I am asking for a miracle.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>This is Cayden and he just turned 16 years old. He is kind and bright but he is also sad and depressed and angry and needs help. He is an amazing artist, lover of animals, gifted at mathematics and talented at science. He is also a kid that has lost his way. His father left us a year and a half ago and since then he has not been in school. He has barely even left the house. He does not see friends; he does not enjoy life. All attempts at getting him help here at home have failed. He has nothing left to live for in his eyes.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>This is where all of you come in. There is an amazing therapy school run by Teen Challenge in Florida called Treasure Coast Academy. It is for boys ages 12-17. At the school, the boys receive group and individual therapy along with education and room and board. They have many different types of therapy including horse therapy and an art program. He would learn to do hard work, be disciplined and learn respect. He would get to be with other kids who he can relate to and see he’s not alone. He would see the love of Jesus.

</div>

<div><br />
</div>

<div>The problem is all of these therapy schools are very expensive and I have no way of paying for it. The cost for the 15-month program is $70,000. If everyone reading this were able to give even $10 and share with their friends, I know we could meet the goal and get Cayden the help he so desperately needs and hopefully save his life because it is a life worth saving.

Save Cayden's Life

If you know Collin, you know about his larger than life heart. He spent every day of his 40 years on this earth giving to those around him. Caring for strangers, quietly serving.  Giving the shirt off his back and the Jordans off his feet.  You likely heard his moving message to #savethekids and #savetheparents, encouraging us to put our phones down and go live a beautiful life. <br />He shared this message 500 times a year all over the country.<br /><br />On October 20, 2020 he suddenly passed away surrounded by his family. We are shattered, and he leaves behind his beautiful wife Elizabeth, their four amazing kids: Avery, Quincey, Lola and Myles (and their dogs Tuque and Winston Bishop, too). They were his world and he was theirs. The hole he left in our family will never be filled, and we know he touched hundreds of thousands of you, too. <br /><br />Collin had big dreams for this world, and his family, and we have been inundated with love and support, wondering what can be done to help. We've created this fundraiser to help ensure that his family can continue living a beautiful life. That although he might not be here to take them fishing, or to the beach, or sing them songs to help them fall asleep at night, we will be the hands to lift them up. We know we and his community will give back, since he gave us all so much. <br /><br />Collin encouraged Liz to go back to school to get her Master's, and without a life insurance policy and their champion Collin, they are facing a lot of unknowns. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for any contributions. We ask for privacy for the family in this trying time.<br /><br />If you'd prefer to Venmo you can send directly to his wife @Elizabeth-Kartchner. <br />Cards and condolences can be sent to PO Box 921 Pleasant Grove, UT 84062<br />A celebration of his life is TBA.<br /><br />Email michelle at <a href="mailto:[email redacted]">[email redacted]</a> for questions/inquiries.
