Thank you for your desire to support Andrea and John during this difficult season. As many of you know, Andrea & John are walking through an unexpected health crisis that has hindered Andrea’s mobility and created crippling financial challenges for her family. After having surgery to remove a tumor on her spinal nerves last month, the medical team found lymphoma at the site. She was then transferred to Duke Hospital and began her first cycle of chemo last week. Looking ahead, she will be undergoing 4–6 total cycles, with treatments every three weeks. 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. Andrea and her family are incredibly grateful for your love, prayers, and practical support.
