Donate to Deb Loud’s Journey to Health

Story

Hi Everyone,

My name is Valerie, and I’m creating this fundraiser for someone I respect and love with all my heart — one of my best friends, Deb Loud.

Several weeks ago, her world shifted. Deb had a routine colonoscopy. This is when they found a large mass that requires urgent surgery, removing a section of her colon. The doctors are optimistic, and we’re praying this surgery will remove it all. But the road ahead isn’t easy.

Deb will be out of work for at least six weeks during her recovery—and maybe longer, depending on how the surgery goes and if Deb will require treatment. We are hopeful it will come back pre-cancerous and she can focus on her recovery. As strong as she is, she’s facing not only the physical and emotional toll of surgery but also the financial pressure of covering bills, rent, and basic living expenses while she can’t work.

Deb is the kind of person who puts everyone else first. She’s shown up for friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors in ways big and small—never asking for anything in return. Now, I’m asking on her behalf: Can you help carry her through this?

We’re hoping to raise 10,000 to cover:
– Medical expenses and follow-up care
– Rent, utilities, and daily living costs during recovery
– Any extra costs we can’t yet foresee

Whether it’s 10 or 100, every bit helps. And even if you can’t donate, just sharing this page with your community makes a huge difference!

Her daughter Emily will be posting updates as she heals, so you can walk this journey with us.

We believe in miracles—and we believe in the power of people showing up when it matters most.

Thank you so much for your love, prayers, and support.

With the utmost gratitude,

~ Valerie
