Rayn Thigpen, Jamison Gaddy and Lucy Hollar recently lost their mother, Christy Hollar, from breast cancer.  Christy was a wonderful single mother, who made a great impact on her church family and work community. She always supported her 3 children no matter how bad she felt. After fighting cancer  for over a year, Christy passed away, and now her family is burdened with the loss of their mother. A trust has been formed for her 3 children’s college and educational purposes.

The McKinney family has a 4 year old who has Down Syndrome, and was recently diagnosed with leukemia. In less than a month, the McKinney's life was drastically changed when Ezekiel was diagnosed with leukemia, and was immediately admitted to Brenner Children's Hospital to receive blood transfusions. He has also began to undergo aggressive Chemo treatments. This has caused the McKinney family to be stretched between their jobs in Boone, and staying with their son, as well as high medical expenses. 

The Lewis family has a 10 year old girl who recently had surgery for a grade 4 medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor. Maize will need to be transported to an out-of-state hospital to undergo aggressive radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Maize and her family have a long road ahead of treatments and medical bills, but are extremely thankful for their community for the support they have been given.
