Our dear friend Shawna was recently diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma,
and her doctors have already confirmed it is stage four. She began chemotherapy
on December 11, and as the new year approaches, she will likely be starting radiation
therapy in addition to chemo. This has all happened so quickly, and the road ahead
will be incredibly difficult for her and her family.
Shawna is
a loving wife and mom of two boys—one in elementary school and one in middle school.
Both boys are active in sports, with practices that are often far from home, adding
another layer of stress during this challenging time. The Adolf family is deeply
respected in our community for their kindness, generosity, and the way they consistently
show up for others. They own their own business and work closely together, in addition
to Shawna’s other job. As Shawna begins treatment, her husband Byron will be limited
on work to support her through every appointment and every round of treatment. This
means a sudden and significant loss of income during an already overwhelming season.
With
an intense medical journey ahead, the last thing we want the Adolf family to worry
about is finances. Our hope is to lift as much of that burden as possible so Shawna
can focus solely on healing and spending meaningful time with her family.
The
Adolf family would never ask for help themselves, which is why we are coming together
on their behalf. Any support—whether through a donation, a meal, or keeping them
in your prayers—is appreciated more than words can express.
Thank
you for helping surround this wonderful family with love, strength, and support
during one of the hardest seasons of their lives.
