Hi everyone, 

I am starting this givesendgo is for my best friend of 20 years, Stephanie Kiple. Recently she has been hit with some unexpected health challenges. I am doing what I can to lessen the burden for her in this challenging chapter of life. 

After a recent surgery, (4-1-26) Stephanie received the unexpected news that she has ovarian cancer. (Mucinous adenocarcinoma). What was supposed to be a routine medical procedure, quickly turned into something life-changing. This was an incidental find, and she has received positive news since then, but for now the uncertainty is draining both mentally and physically.

Since then, she’s been trying to recover physically from surgery while also facing the emotional weight of a cancer diagnosis, on top of already dealing with Multiple Sclerosis and Trigeminal Neurolgia. She still has more appointments ahead, additional surgery planned(May), and ongoing care to make sure everything possible is done for her health and future, for not only herself but her three children.

One of the biggest challenges right now is transportation. Her oncologist is 2 hours away, and she has to make frequent trips for appointments. At the moment, she doesn’t have a reliable vehicle for those long drives and has been depending on rides or using someones vehicle each time. I’m hoping to raise enough money for her to do some repairs on her current vehicle so she can make it safely to the care she needs without the added stress and uncertainty. 

We know everything is tight for everyone now a days, and she is just trying her hardest to keep her head up and stay afloat. She has to stay strong and solid for her family, even if that means having to do what she absolutely never does, and that’s asking for help. 

Any donation, no matter the amount, would mean more than we can express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser would help so much as well.

Thank you for your kindness, prayers, encouragement, and support. It truly means everything as she faces this new diagnosis and focuses on healing.

-Stephanie’s goddaughter, Alysha, will be collecting on her behalf and will distribute all of the money to her as soon as it’s collected.
