The Story
The night we almost lost her — and the morning we didn't.
On the night of May 25th, the doctors called our family into the hospital. The cancer had caused a leak near Raven's kidney, and a severe infection called sepsis was moving through her body. They told us she might not have a day left. We gathered around her bed and we prayed over her all night.
Morning came — and Raven was still in it. That was almost two months ago. She is still here. She is still ours.
Her doctors have been honest with us: they have run out of treatments they can offer her. But Raven hasn't run out of fight. She asks God for more time. She told Him she is not ready to go — and He keeps waking her up, day after day, one day at a time.
She wants more mornings with Khaza.
More first days of school.
More time.
And our family believes God is not done with her story — He has answered her prayers too many times for us to stop asking now.
The Ask
Please give what you can.
Whatever the amount, it comes straight to Raven's family — and every gift builds three things, in this order, every time:
Her care
The specialized treatment her local doctors can't provide — and everything her fight requires.
Her household
Rent, bills, groceries, and Khaza's needs — so a teacher's home stays steady while she heals.
Khaza's future
Everything beyond her care and living costs starts a scholarship fund for her son, in his mother's honor.
When God moves — not if — every dollar beyond her care builds what comes next.
Full of Life
This is who we're fighting for.
Look at her. This is what fighting looks like.
Joy, under a denim brim
Her smile does some of the fighting
She brings her own sunshine
Every rose is for her
Royalty runs in the family
Standing on the promise
Four generations, one heartbeat
Teacher heart, on duty
Give
Two ways, straight to the family.
Person to person. No platform. No fees taken out.
