Never in a million years did I think I would be writing something like this for my sister Sammie, my brother in law Jake, and sweet Maddie.

This week, our family received devastating news that no parent should ever have to hear: Maddie has been diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma of her hand, a rare form of pediatric cancer.

Right now, we are still waiting on more answers, more scans, and a finalized treatment plan, but we do know she will be facing multiple treatments including chemotherapy and radiation and a long road ahead. Everything feels overwhelming, heartbreaking, and uncertain, and their entire focus right now needs to be on getting Maddie through this.

As they navigate appointments, hospital stays, surgeries, treatments, and time away from work, we are asking for prayers and support in any way possible. Every donation will go toward medical expenses, lost income, travel, and helping ease the burden on their family while they fight for Maddie.

More than anything, we are asking everyone to pray for her. Pray for complete healing, strength, peace, and comfort for Maddie and for all of us walking through this beside her.

Thank you for loving our family, standing beside them, and surrounding Maddie with prayers during the hardest season of their lives.
