Raise funds for a wedding planner for Faith Babb
Donation protected
Typically, when you get married, there are three dates almost every girl remembers. The date you started dating, the date you got engaged and the best day ever, the day you got married. For Faith and Cooper, there is one more date to add to the mix that they won't soon forget.
Faith Babb and Cooper Van Kooten started dating on October 21, 2017. The high school sweethearts made it through, graduating from GHS in different years and continuing to college together. They took on a big move together to Dallas, where Faith landed her dream job, and Cooper continued school to become a Chiropractor. The two were engaged on June 5, 2021, and the wedding planning began. During what should always be remembered as one of the most fun and exciting times in a bride's life, Faith was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkins Lymphoma. December 6, 2021. Not a date anyone ever intends on adding to their life's checkpoints. With chemotherapy starting as soon as possible, the wedding and the planning would have to wait. Faith and Cooper stayed strong in each other and steadfast in their Faith. While undergoing strenuous treatment and holding on to a lot of Hope, Faith lived up to her namesake. She stayed positive and, through social media, gave us a glimpse into her chemo and cold capping treatments. She answered questions from friends and followers, and one Q&A story gripped my heart and started the path toward this GoFundMe. When asked how cancer has affected the wedding planning, Faith was honest about how stressful it has become. How they had to push back their wedding date. How it has become difficult to look forward that far in the future with so much going on here and now. And it broke my heart for her all over again.
We have found a wedding planner with their date open next year. Faith has met with her and developed a package that fits her needs perfectly. With your help and generosity, we can take off the pressure of planning a wedding and let Faith focus on healing. We would love to give Faith, Cooper, and their families the gift of a wedding planner to help with details for the ceremony and reception months in advance and on the day of.
April 22, 2023, should be the *best day ever* for them both.
