Kirk & Jill's Florida Adventure
Donation protected
Hello,
Meet Kirk & Jill, together since age 14, they are bestfriends and potentially the greatest people on Earth. They live life overflowing with kindness, generosity, humor, & faithfulness. They are the kind of people who open their home to anyone, who give and expect nothing in return and who know how to laugh.
Unfortunately in September 2013, Jill was diagnosed with Lymphoma. I will spare you all the medical specifics, but so began a very long and very difficult journey. As a family (Including their two great kids, Kait & Ty) they pressed forward, remained hopeful and fought the good fight.
And can I tell you, they never ever complained.
After endless weeks in the hospital.
Tireless nights.
Surgery.
Chemo.
Radiation.
And Approximately 1 billion doctor visits.
Never.
This week they recieved heartbreaking news that Jill's cancer has continued to increase in ferociousness. With unmatched grace and strength, they are bravely embracing her remaining months together as a family.
Each Spring Break, the Zylstra family travels to Ormond Beach, Florida for a respite from the bitter winter and time with family and friends. Unfortunately, the obstacles for Jill to travel 18 hours via minivan are immense.
Can you help us send Kirk & Jill on one last Florida adventure?
We are hoping to raise enough money to purchase round trip plane tickets & a rental minivan for their time in Florida. (Kait & Ty will meet up with them!)
Kirk & Jill would never in a bazillion years ask for this, but deserve it more than words can express.
Thank you!
