Meet Me at the Fountain 5k

Donation Goal: $1,000

Your donation will support 5 year old June Pearson as she recovers from brain cancer. June's Story is below:

 

June's life changed in an instant after a terrible accident. She fell and hit her head, and when she was taken to the hospital in Rutherford County, she was sent home with only Tylenol and no further testing. The next morning, she wouldn’t wake up. Our family was terrified as she was airlifted to Greenville Memorial Hospital, where doctors discovered a softball-sized brain tumor that had ruptured and needed emergency surgery. Now, she will be back in the operating room in the morning to remove the rest of the tumor, so it’s still a very scary and uncertain time for all of us.


Her recovery will be a long road, and the emotional and financial toll is already overwhelming. The hospital is two hours away from home, so travel expenses are adding up quickly. On top of that, there are mounting medical bills, follow-up appointments, and all the things she needs while staying in the hospital. Our family is doing everything we can to support her, but we can’t do it alone.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to anyone who donates, shares, or simply sends encouragement—every bit truly helps.
