Standing Strong with Amy: Conquering Cancer Together

Dear Friends, Family, and Compassionate Strangers,

We created this fundraiser for a dear friend of ours, Amy Williams, who was recently diagnosed with an incurable form of stage 4 cancer.

Amy’s Story

Amy is a devoted wife, a loving mother of two (Macy, 19, and Logan, 21), and a faithful friend to many. At 55 years old, Amy’s life has been defined by her passion for the Lord, her deep love for family, and her pursuit of natural, holistic health. Today, she faces the most significant challenge of her life—a recurrence of Stage 4 Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer (ER+), which has now metastasized to her spine, ribs, lung, and liver.

Despite the serious prognosis, Amy’s doctors believe she could gain up to seven more years with the right treatments. This invaluable time would allow her to realize her dream of seeing her children married, meeting her future grandchildren, and growing old with her beloved husband, Aaron.

In 2020, Amy found a lump during the height of COVID-19. She had to navigate mammograms, ultrasounds, and a biopsy alone—an experience filled with fear and uncertainty. She successfully conquered her breast cancer, or so she believed.

That was until she began to experience severe back pain in early 2024. At first, Amy assumed it was sciatica or menopause-related. But by the end of the year, the pain was unbearable. An MRI just days before Christmas revealed metastatic lesions and fractures in her lower spine and sacrum. Additional scans showed more lesions in her upper spine, ribs, and even a spot on her lung and liver—cancer had spread farther than anyone had realized.

After spending over a week in the hospital, thankfully Amy is now home again with her family. But she struggles with mobility and debilitating pain. She is no longer able to work or do much to support her family, and relies on Aaron for assistance with daily tasks, including getting to the bathroom, cooking, and household chores.

Feelings of guilt weigh heavily on Amy’s heart as she witnesses the burdens placed on Aaron. Yet her faith remains unwavering—she trusts the Lord fully and cherishes every moment with her family. With Amy unable to work and Aaron acting as both her primary caregiver and a full-time provider, the family faces mounting medical bills, daily living expenses, and the costs of specialized care.

Why Your Help Matters

Amy has already started radiation treatments and is scheduled to meet with her oncologist to plan the next phase, which may include additional chemotherapy. Beginning in February, she’ll have new insurance coverage, but it will not cover all her treatments. The estimated expenses—including hospital stays, therapies, medications, organic/wellness foods, and potential travel for specialized care—could climb to $1.1 million over the coming years.

Your support will directly impact Amy and her family by:

Covering Medical Bills: Relieving the enormous burden of ongoing treatments, scans, medication, and potential surgeries.

Sustaining Daily Living Costs: Ensuring there’s enough for essentials like groceries, utilities, and quality nutrition to strengthen Amy’s immune system.

Supporting Aaron’s Role: Helping hire additional help at home when Aaron must work to keep his business afloat, easing the strain on both Amy and Aaron.

Every donation—no matter how large or small—brings much-needed relief and allows this family to focus on what truly matters: Amy’s health and precious time together with her family. Despite the uncertainties, Amy remains steadfast in her faith. She believes firmly in the power of prayer, community, and the love that binds us all. By standing with Amy, you become part of a greater hope—one that transcends medical charts and difficult prognoses.

“I trust the Lord 100%. I want to see my kids get married, hold my grandchildren, and grow old with Aaron. Your support gives me the strength to keep fighting—knowing I’m not leaving my husband and family with impossible burdens.” — Amy
