Thank you for visiting Andrea’s care page and for your desire to support Andrea and John during this difficult season. As many of you know, Andrea is walking through an unexpected health crisis that has impaired her mobility and created significant financial challenges. Andrea had surgery to remove a tumor on her spinal nerve endings a month ago and was subsequently diagnosed with lymphoma. She has began treatment at Duke Hospital last week and is home. She will be undergoing 4–6 cycles of chemotherapy, with treatments every three weeks. As you can imagine, this is a challenging time for Andrea and her family, and they are incredibly grateful for the love, prayers, and practical support of their community. We’ve created this page to make it easy for those who would like to help. Whether you provide a meal, offer encouragement, pray faithfully, or contribute financially, every act of kindness helps lighten the load and reminds the family they are not walking this journey alone.
