Hi my name is Ryan and my rachel Thompson who is only 30 years old. A mother of two, a beloved elementary school teacher, and someone who always puts others first. Just six months ago, she was the one organizing school fundraisers, cheering at soccer games, and baking cookies for the neighborhood. But everything changed the day she heard the word: cancer.
Rachel was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer after months of unexplained pain and fatigue. The diagnosis came late — as it often does with this type of cancer — and it hit her family like a tidal wave. Her husband Mark had to take unpaid leave from his job to care for her and their children. Their once-stable life quickly spiraled into uncertainty.
The treatment plan is aggressive: multiple rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, and then more chemo. Some of the medications aren’t fully covered by insurance. The travel to the nearest oncology center is over an hour away, and the bills are stacking up. Every month, Rachel and Mark are forced to choose between paying for medication or making the mortgage payment.
They never thought they’d be here — asking for help. But cancer doesn’t wait for a convenient moment. It doesn’t care if you’re a good person, or if you’ve given everything to your community. Now, they need the support they’ve always given others.
Donations will go directly toward rachels medical bills, travel costs for treatment, and supporting their children during this difficult time. Every little bit helps — even just sharing their story can make a difference.
Rachel is fighting for her life. Let’s show her she’s not fighting alone❤️any contributions will help
