Some people make life feel lighter just by being in it. Ginnie is one of those rare souls. With her steady strength, quick smile, and endless heart, she’s been the quiet force holding her family—and so many of us—together. She gives without asking, loves without limits, and somehow makes everyone around her feel seen, supported, and deeply cared for.

So when Ginnie was diagnosed with Stage III Triple-Negative Breast Cancer, it shook us. But if anyone has the strength and spirit to face a challenge like this, it’s her. And she’s not facing it alone—we’re here, ready to lift her the way she’s always lifted us.

Walter stands strong beside Ginnie as they raise their two little boys, Louie (4) and Stephen (3), with their sweet pup Milo never far behind. He is Ginnie’s true counterpart—kind, joyful, and quietly selfless. Together, they make their home a haven of love and laughter, where their boys always come first. Even now, as Walter works full-time and supports Ginnie through treatment, his focus remains on keeping their world steady and full of light. Their shared devotion to each other and their family is the heart of everything they do.

Their life together is rich in simple joys—spontaneous outdoor adventures, music always playing in the background, meals made with love, and moments that turn into memories. Ginnie makes everyday life feel magical, and Walter is always there beside her, making that magic possible.

Along with raising their boys, Ginnie has also spent the last decade caring tenderly for our mom. She carries the best of our dad with her—his deep love for family, his quiet strength, and his unshakable devotion. Ginnie has always been the one we turn to. Now, it’s our turn to be there for her.

As Ginnie begins treatment, every message, prayer, and kind word lifts her more than you know. We’re still learning what kind of help will be needed, and we’ll keep this page updated. For now, the best way to support her family is by helping ease daily stresses—gift cards for groceries, grocery delivery, meal delivery, meal kits, Amazon, or Visa can go a long way in helping them stay focused on what matters most: healing and time together.

There’s no expectation—just a heartfelt thank you for every bit of love, encouragement, and friendship. It means the world.

This e-gift card allows access to all Walmart products. Useful for anyone anywhere.
Why We Love This Gift: We love this gift because it offers access to things like pharmacies when a family you love is in need. Many aspects of surgical care are not covered by insurance - these expenses can add up. This is especially true when a family is on a fixed income. Items like canes, walkers, surgical gauze, and more - can all be underwritten in this way. (Bonus: It respects, as well, the privacy and dignity of the person you love). Supplements that are doctor recommended (always check) can also be covered in this manner. Walmart also just has everything so for someone who has lost their job it enables them to get what they need without spelling it all out. People are proud.
What To Express in Your Card: You'd do exactly the same. xo
