Support Karyn Kasvin

Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

Thank you so much for your interest in supporting my sweet friend, Karyn Kasvin. I've had the privilege of calling Karyn my dear friend for nearly two decades...since our daughters (pictured with us above) were in preschool. She is gentle, kind, passionate, a lifelong learner, selfless, fiercely loyal, and would do absolutely anything for her friends. But right now, Karyn needs our help.

As some of you may know, Karyn was diagnosed with Stage 4, triple-negative breast cancer in September of 2022. She has fought her way through multiple rounds of radiation, chemotherapy, naturopathic therapies, a mastectomy, and a plethora of other procedures and treatments. Last month, just weeks after what appeared to be a successful mastectomy, the cancer spread to her spine, resulting in the loss of all feeling and function from the waist down. After spending this past month in the hospital, she is now moving into an assisted-living facility, which insurance will not cover. So, on top of the difficult challenge of learning to do life with physical limitations that she could never have imagined and the stress caused by the mountain of medical bills, she's now burdened with an additional $6000 of unexpected monthly expenses.

From the bottom of my heart, I ask that you consider what you are able to give. If you feel called to join me in easing Karyn's financial burden so she can focus her mind and body on the much more important tasks ahead of her, please use the included link.

I believe that together, we can raise enough for Karyn to conquer that mountain of medical bills, overcome the debt accrued due to the loss of income over the past year, and afford the residential facility until she is ready and able to return home.
