Kristen’s Cancer Story and Gift for Her Family

Kristen is a 39 year old mother of a beautiful daughter, who just celebrated her first birthday. Kristen’s love of her life, Kevin, has not left her side at the hospital the last couple of weeks. What started as exploratory surgery due to fluid in the abdomen, ended up with the diagnosis of stage 4 metastatic cancer.

Kristen is my dear friend. Everyone that knows her, knows her kind green eyes, her infectious laugh and her unwavering friendship. She is one of the strongest women I know. She is loyal and always there for those who need her. Now she needs us...


On October 14th Kristen was diagnosed with stage four metastatic cancer of the abdomen. Kristen has a strong will and determination to fight this. Her spirits are not down. She will not quit. They are doing absolutely everything they can and she is fighting with everything she has. 

Yesterday I received a text from Kristen saying, “I think I am going to actually ask for help now.” This is not an easy thing to do for Kristen. We always joke about how hard it is to ask for help. I’m learning it is a huge strength. So this is where we come in...


Kristen needs our help. She is a self-employed Momma of a beautiful one year old. She isn’t working so she isn’t making money. And money will help alleviate the stress and worry Kristen is experiencing. She needs to focus solely on her health. She knows she has a long road ahead and she is confident she will beat this. She is already making strides and blowing her doctors’ minds. If you know Kristen, that will come as no surprise. 

Let’s help Kristen get out of the hospital and home to Kaia and Kevin. Let’s surround her with love, prayers and healing energy. Let’s let Kristen feel the village of support behind her.
