Supporting the Rodgers

Hi friends!! Update on our BRAVE, STRONG FIERCE, UNSTOPPABLE girl ️…..1/24/24

“Hey Cancer…….you picked the WRONG GIRL” ️#NADIASTRONG

As most of you know Nadia started Proton Radiation treatment at KU Monday! Thank you so much for the encouraging words! She’s so brave and strong, 2 treatments down, 28 to go!

Sis got so many compliments on her jacket. You could see the circle of love around her while she was wearing it. We will keep adding to it as things come in. They can be dropped in the porch bin as well. Message us for our address if needed.

Support Squad shirt orders will close today 1/24. We appreciate the orders that have been placed and can’t wait to see everyone in them.

Hi friends!! Update on our BRAVE, STRONG FIERCE, UNSTOPPABLE girl ️…..1/8/24

We had our last follow up at KU today before we start treatment. Nadia is scheduled to start Proton Radiation on January 17th. Thankfully this treatment is available locally (within the last year and a half) as we will go M-F for 6 weeks. Treatment will cover her full brain and spine.

We will have bracelets and shirts available soon, more details when they are available for purchase.

Last but not least THANK YOU!! THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone for everything over the past two months. It has been a literal whirlwind. The calls, text, donations through the GoFundMe, generosity, hugs when you see us out, all of it! We sincerely appreciate it. Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think we would be navigating this with our sweet Pie, but it is the support from our village and our faith that keeps us strong.

11/23/23-THANKSgiving update from the Rodgers family!

THANKFUL. On this day of Thanksgiving our family is beyond THANKFUL for the support and prayers for our sweet Nadia. There are no words to adequately express our gratitude for the generous donations and outpouring of love sent to our family. The support from family, friends and community provide us the courage to stay stay strong and help our girl fight. We have a long and unknown road ahead of us, but we have the blessings of a healing God leading our way. We are home from the hospital and Nadia is healing incredibly well from surgery. We are working on regaining the strength in her legs, but she is making great progress!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for everything. Keep those prayers coming.

Update 11/17/23-

Wow! The generosity that has been shown for the Rodgers family is truly unmatched. With your love and support we have exceeded our initial goal. The love shown for this family is a true testament of their influence in all of our lives.

Nadia is up and around and making progress. We were able to get a quick glance of her and see her beautiful face and smile. Please continue to keep this sweet family in your prayers as they navigate this difficult journey.

Hello friends and prayer warriors. As many of you know, the Rodgers family has been at Children’s Mercy with Nadia for the past week. Last week, a four inch tumor was discovered on Nadia’s spine. After the initial tumor was discovered, a second MRI was completed where a few spots were found on her brain that had separated from the original tumor.

Unfortunately, yesterday they received the tough news that Nadia was diagnosed with cancer of the spine and brain. They have a very long road ahead of them but our girl is a fighter! Nadia will receive treatments at KU Medical Center. Her treatment will start in two weeks and will be Monday through Friday for 5-6 weeks.

Nadia is so strong, determined, and making great progress overall. The Rodgers are understandably devastated but know they have several friends and family praying for them.

They will be spending a lot of time on the road to and from treatments. Please join me in helping relieve some stress so they can focus on Nadia and her treatment. If you would like to donate money, gas cards, or food cards please let me know and I will get it to them. If you can’t financially give please send them continued prayers.

Thank you,

Kellie Bowles
