<div>Hi, my name is Kristina, and I have the honor of calling Francine one of my closest friends. We met six years ago, and I've watched her walk through life with faith, resilience, and grace even in the hardest moments. Over time, she has become family to me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Francine is one of the strongest people I know. She has endured more than most in her 54 years on earth. Not only has she buried both of her children (the most recent being just 3 months ago) she is the primary caregiver of both of her young grandsons.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recently, Francine received a cancer diagnosis that has turned her world and the lives of those who love her upside down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you know Francine, you know her heart. You know the way she shows up for others, the strength she carries, and the kindness she gives so freely.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>She has spent many years showing support to her friends, community, and network. She is well known for her compassion and generosity, for organizing fundraisers, and stepping up for others in need. Now she needs us to step up for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This diagnosis doesn’t change who she is but it does change what she’s facing. Francine has pancreatic cancer and is in a fight for her life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As she begins treatment, there will be medical bills, time away from work, travel expenses as she will be receiving treatment at MD Anderson in Houston, and countless unexpected costs that come with fighting cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s where we come in.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through everything Francine has walked through, her faith has remained a steady anchor. Faith doesn’t erase the pain or make the road easy, but it reminds us that she is not walking this journey alone. We believe in the power of prayer, in God’s nearness to the brokenhearted, and in His provision often revealed through the love and generosity of others. In this season, we are trusting Him for strength, peace, healing, and the grace needed for each new day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This GoFundMe is a way for us… friends, family, and community to rally around Francine and help lighten the load. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward supporting her through treatment and recovery, allowing her to focus on what matters most: getting well.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Together we can raise funds to help support her and her husband Richie financially as they face this recent diagnosis together following an unimaginable season of loss.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser exists to help ease the financial burden of treatment and daily expenses, allowing her the space to rest, heal, and be surrounded by the support she deserves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this page or keeping Francine in your thoughts and prayers. Support looks different for everyone, and all of it matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for loving Francine, for showing up, and for being part of this fight with her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe in hope, in community, and in the power of coming together, especially now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A quick note on fees:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>GoFundMe offers donors the option to leave a voluntary tip to help support their platform. This tip is completely optional and goes directly to GoFundMe, not to this campaign. It is NOT mandatory. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation to this campaign goes to Francine directly (minus standard payment processing fees), and you are always free to adjust the GoFundMe tip to $0 if you choose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Give in the way that feels right to you. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Kristina

Support Francine's Fight Against Cancer

<div><strong>Rachel Steen's Journey</strong>

</div>

<div>Rachel Steen, a single mother, faces a profound challenge after being diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer discovered unexpectedly during a dental check-up. Her condition required extensive surgeries that removed significant portions of her palate and part of her nose, severely impairing her speech.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>These surgical interventions, while life-saving, have left Rachel struggling with daily interactions and unable to work, exacerbating her financial burdens. The reconstructive surgery she needs to regain her speech and functionality is priced at $19,000 and is not covered by her insurance, classifying it as "cosmetic."

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Pelican Roofing is committed to helping Rachel overcome this hurdle by organizing a fundraising initiative to cover the costs of her surgery. We call on the community to join us in this heartfelt effort. Your support can help restore not just Rachel’s speech but also her ability to lead a more normal life. Every donation counts and brings Rachel closer to recovery and hope.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Run With Roofus</strong>

</div>

<div>Starting April 9th, Pelican Roofing’s “Roofus” will run a 5k every day for 30 days to spread awareness and raise funds to support Rachel's journey. If you see a Pelican running around South Louisiana, that’s Roofus doing what he can to spread awareness!

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Rachel has enough to focus on without having to wonder how she can afford to have this life-changing reconstructive surgery, which will significantly improve her quality of life. Will you donate to support someone in our community who has fallen on hard times?

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>You can donate to her cause below. Please share with your family and friends so we can get Rachel the help she needs!

Care for Conner Curtice

My name is Gabrielle Bryan Harper. I'm asking you to help me raise funds for my Aunt Denise Stepp-Flores (Dee-Dee) due to medical issues that she is dealing with in her life. Due to an unfortunate event, Denise had a fall and landed face down on the floor and hit her head. Immediately she suffered an eye injury and loss of her vision. It's been a long road with many unexpected life-changing decisions she has been forced to make at such an early time in her life. She has had loss of time at work, missing what she really loved doing....nursing her patients and helping the doctors. Since this unfortunate event, other issues have began in her life. Kidney failure resulting in dialysis and heart failure has become a part of her daily routine. Due to this sudden loss, she needs our help. She has financial obligations that need to be taken care of and since she is unable to work she is also unable to make ends meet. She is at risk of losing her home. From mortgage payments, medical bills and medications, to everyday grocery needs, transportation, and insurance payments, she is unable to support herself at this time. She is unable to drive and if you know Denise, her independence is so important to her and so was sporting around town in her little green van. We are asking for your help and any amount would be appreciated. She continues to have major decisions to make, such as the possibility of adding her name to the kidney transplant list. Being a nurse, she has helped so many people in her life and I hope to return the favor. Please keep her in your prayers and consider helping her fight this battle.
