✨ SOME STORIES ARE MEANT TO BE READ. OTHERS ARE MEANT TO BE HEARD, FELT, AND SHARED. 💜

This is one of those stories. And this is one of those evenings you won’t want to miss.

At 37, Chelsea Piazza Willsey had built the life she thought she was supposed to have. Then came three words that changed everything: You have cancer.

But what happened next became so much more than a cancer story.

💜 It’s a story of courage, unraveling, rediscovery, unexpected signs, laughter in the darkest moments, and finding your way back to yourself.

In her powerful new memoir, Finding Chelsea: How Cancer Ripped Me Open and Brought Me Home, Chelsea shares her journey with extraordinary honesty, humor, vulnerability, and heart.

And now, we have the incredible opportunity to hear her story in person at HopeClub!

✨ Meet Chelsea and hear her story
✨ Experience a special book reading
✨ Connect, celebrate, and be inspired

✨Because showing up matters.
💓Because sharing our stories matters.
🥰And because when someone has the courage to turn their most difficult chapters into something that can help others, they deserve a room full of people ready to listen, celebrate, and cheer them on.

🪑Whether cancer has touched your life or you simply believe in the power of resilience, connection, and transformation, there’s a seat for you.💞

🍂🥣 Soup-er delicious food, fabulous company & a whole lot of laughter! 🥪🧡

Our friends at Broadview Federal Credit Union FCU rolled up their sleeves and served up some serious fall comfort food at HopeClub! From scratch-made soups and sandwiches to scrumptious autumn desserts, they brought ALL the cozy vibes! 🍁🍪

But the best part wasn’t what was on the menu — it was what happened around the tables. The conversations, the connections, the stories and the laughter shared by all. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to our amazing Broadview friends for filling our bowls, warming our hearts and reminding us that sometimes the simplest moments create the sweetest memories.

🍁 Good food. Great people. Genuine connections. That’s what HopeClub is all about!
