My name is Taylor, and I am writing this for my wife, Brittney, and our family. Two months ago, a tree fell on Brittney at a picnic, and in an instant, our lives changed completely. Since then, Brittney has been living with a spinal injury that doctors still have not been able to fully figure out. She faces severe, debilitating pain all day and all night. It is excruciating, and it has become so intense that Brittney could end up back in the ER again at any time. She cannot sit in a chair or lie down at all. She cannot lift things, cook, clean, or even take our son, Sawyer, to school. What used to be normal daily life now feels impossible. Brittney has been through countless rounds of imaging, numerous ER visits, appointments at three orthopedic clinics, and two spine procedures already, with likely at least two more still ahead. There is still no clear end in sight, and this injury has left Brittney effectively disabled. 
<br>
<br>
 At the same time, the financial pressure on our household keeps growing. Our imaging costs are already over $3,000, our ER visits are over $3,000, and each procedure is around $2,000, with at least two more likely ahead. Our insurance coverage just reset in September, so we have a brand new deductible we have to meet, which is further increasing the financial burden. Brittney will also need a lengthy course of physical therapy that is expected to cost multiple thousands of dollars. I have been carrying the full weight of caregiving while also working full time, but I have run out of paid time off and will now need to take unpaid time off to care for Brittney and Sawyer, costing us thousands more in lost income that we would normally use for rent, bills, and daily living needs. We do not have nearby relatives to step in, so the strain continues week after week. Predictable support would help us keep up with these ongoing medical expenses, rent, bills, and the daily costs of caring for our family while Brittney is unable to function the way she used to. If you are able, please consider making a donation to help support us through this. Shares help spread the word and boost the algorithm for us, and even words of support are helpful for Brittney. 
<br>
<br>
 Earlier this year, Brittney also had melanoma removed along with two lymph nodes, and we already paid for that care and the physical therapy that followed. After everything our family has already taken on, we simply cannot manage these new medical and household costs alone. Thank you for standing with Brittney and our family during this incredibly difficult season.

<div>For the last ten years, Joel has lived with cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For ten years we’ve fought, hoped, planned, celebrated, and cried through cancer.  Through it all we’ve tried to keep living: raising our kids, traveling when we could, and refusing to let cancer steal the joy from the big and the small moments.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Last week, Joel’s oncologist told us something that changed the way we see the year ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The person he sees in the scans is dying. Based on the progression of Joel’s cancer, we’ve been told he likely has about a year left.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As Joel has shared, when people say that phrase…
</div>
<div>They say a year “to live.”
</div>
<div>Not a year “to die.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And that’s exactly how we’re choosing to see it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year is about living.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s about time spent intentionally. Together. In the present, not fixated with worry on the future.  It’s making sure the kids have memories that stretch far beyond this season. It’s about the trips we can still take, the places we can still see together, and the ordinary days that suddenly feel very extraordinary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But there is also a practical side to this year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Practicality showing up as transitions to disability, reduced income, increased medical care and insurance costs, and the reality that planning a meaningful year together all come with financial weight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the past we asked for just enough help to ease the burdens of the already weighty costs surrounding Joel’s multiple surgeries, extensive travel, and lost income from missing work.  And people showed up .  Beyond anything we asked for, people showed up.  More than the monetary, the gifts reminded us that we had a community willing to carry us through the storms.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following the news this week, this same community has once again showed up.  In texts and comments and messages and phone calls.  And we have honestly heard the same question:  “How can we help?”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So we are creating this page for those who have asked.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support will help us:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Offset the loss of income as disability transitions loom
</div>
<div>• Cover medical and treatment-related costs
</div>
<div>• Create opportunities for family trips and experiences together
</div>
<div>• Help us focus less on financial stress and more on time together
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you would like to support us in ways beyond financial gifts, we would also gratefully accept:
</div>
<div>• Airline miles
</div>
<div>• Travel or hotel gift cards
</div>
<div>If you have something like that you’d like to share, please reach out to us directly. We are trying to fit years of family vacations and retirement together into a few months.  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because we don’t know exactly what this year will look like. Or how long Joel will be able to do anything. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But we do know this:
</div>
<div>We want to fill any time he has left with as much living as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for walking this road with us, for loving our family, and for helping us make this year count.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With Love,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Stetler Family

A 10 year cancer battle: A Year to Live Fully

<div>I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my sister, Natalie, who is currently navigating an incredibly difficult and emotionally exhausting custody situation. She’s doing everything she can to keep her daughters safe, supported, and surrounded by love—but the legal fees are overwhelming, and she needs help to keep fighting for what’s best for her kids.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This has been an ongoing situation that has finally reached a head in recent months. Police have been involved multiple times and she needs legal assistance to set boundaries and expectations. The very lax original divorce and custody agreement that Natalie naively signed due to emotional manipulation has not been upheld. This agreement, which Natalie was not permitted to see prior to signing, took place during a tumultuous time in her life, after the birth of their third daughter. Natalie’s then husband was not even present for the birth and claimed he would refuse to claim her as his. Natalie has been a stay at home mom since the kids were born (14 years now) and has been substitute teaching to survive financially. She is currently back in school to become an elementary school teacher and cannot afford the overwhelming costs of a family lawyer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Family law cases are expensive, especially when the situation is complex and ongoing. Your support—whether through a donation or simply by sharing—means the world. It helps Natalie access the legal representation she needs to protect her girls and give them the stability they deserve.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>⸻
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Where Your Support Goes
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’re breaking this fundraiser into phases to be transparent and focused:
</div>
<div>    •    Phase 1 – $7,000: Retainer and initial legal filings
</div>
<div>    •    Phase 2 – $5,000: Ongoing representation and court preparation
</div>
<div>    •    Phase 3 – $5,000+: Additional legal support if the case becomes extended or more complex
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every dollar goes directly toward legal costs that will help secure a safer future for Natalie and her daughters. Thank you for standing with her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Note from Natalie
</div>
<div>I don’t have the words to express how much this support means to me. It’s been such a hard road, and knowing that people care enough to help—whether financially or just by showing up—is a reminder that we’re not alone in this. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping me keep fighting for my girls.

Help My Sister Protect Her Kids and Find Stability

<div>Greetings All,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is with a heavy, broken heart to inform you that my beloved brother-in-law, <strong>Carlos Chavez, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, March 8th</strong>. If you knew Carlos, you know he loved helping anyone at any time. He was such a gentle soul who is greatly missed. He was a great disc golfer who loved to camp amongst other friends. Carlos was not one to ask for help; he was always the one helping. <strong>Any funds are greatly appreciated that will be used to make the necessary funeral arrangements and associated costs.</strong> Please do not feel obligated. Above all, your prayers to his family, friends, and two boys, Keanu and Diego, are greatly appreciated.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Those who knew Carlos know that he had an auto shop in Yuba City and was a master on anything Honda and Toyota. He later moved to Chico and really... really got into disc golf. He'd send us pics of all the areas he'd go set up camp and go on his hikes and see the sunsets. My wife, Susie, would call her best friend every day... every day. How's it going, where are you, enjoy your day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Carlos last days were doing what he loved and  with the company he enjoyed being with in the great outdoors. He loved being outdoors... and viewing the sunsets. I heard he was 4 strokes up going into Saturday's tournament in Yucaipa, CA. He left us as a champ.  We love and miss you.
