Please join us in lifting sweet Kehlani and her family up in prayer. 🙏
The next two days bring important scans and tests, and we are praying hard for peace, strength, and positive results.

Pray for clear scans, wise doctors, and for this cancer to be gone once and for all. Kehlani is so loved, so brave, and so deserving of healing.

Big prayers for our girl. 💗

Tomorrow starts the worst days for my anxiety. Tomorrow is Day 1 of scans. She will have an NON-Sedated CT and her Nuclear Med injection. Wednesday she will have her big MIBG scan and MRI.

I need everyone to get their prayers going for her. To show some sort of progress in the right direction. We are waiting for Our Team in NYC to get back to our team here and see what we are doing next.

So please please pray big for our girl! She deserves to be cancer free, she deserves this monster to get the hell on!!!!!

Jesus Deleon Avalos has a history of benign tumors but recently during an ER visit because he wasn’t feeling quite right after the removal of a fatty mass, the doctor decided to do an MRI to rule out a blood clot.
Quite by accident they found a 2.5 cm tumor on his kidney. Jesus saw a specialist asap and confirmed the tumor is cancerous. Hopes are that since the tumor is small they can remove it completely with surgery. He should be able to recover in 4-6 weeks and return to work. His family of course depends on him for support and with our Gift of Love and donations from others we are hopeful Jesus and his family will make it thru this difficult time. Surgery is scheduled for January 7th, please join us in praying for a successful surgery and recovery.
Thanks to all of you that continue to support Stefany Andrews Boyett Foundation, we are able to help cancer patients like Jesus.

We are honored to share this family’s story one that is both heartbreaking and uniquely powerful, as we announce them as our very first double Gift of Love through the
Stefany Andrews Boyett Foundation
Edward was diagnosed with grade 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive and devastating form of brain cancer. His mother, Ceci, is herself a survivor of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Years ago, she was given just six months to live, yet she beat the odds. More recently, doctors discovered cancer in her stomach, beginning another difficult chapter in her journey.
Edward was known for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering devotion to his mom. Although he had experienced headaches over the past year, no one imagined the severity of what he was facing. One day at work, he suffered a seizure, and doctors discovered a brain tumor. He was given three months to live. Not long after receiving our Gift of Love, Edward passed away. The treatments intended to help him ultimately made his condition worse.
Edward was single and had no children, but he loved his nieces and nephews as if they were his own. He was the person everyone could depend on—steady, caring, and always willing to give of himself.
Ceci continues her fight with remarkable strength and may soon be moving closer to family for support.
We are deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to help this family in their time of need, and we humbly ask for your prayers for Ceci as she continues her battle.

Olivia is a shining young lady who has always been active in athletics at school and surrounded by many wonderful friends. As the youngest of five children, she is wrapped in unwavering love and strength from her siblings and her parents.
Cancer has no boundaries, it touches children, young adults, older adults, and the elderly. Its impact is devastating, and when it enters your life, you learn quickly that you must be strong because there is simply no other choice. Olivia and her mom, Gia, remain thankful and blessed to be part of THAT family, the one that fights together, loves together, and keeps faith at the center. They are committed to taking this journey one day at a time, doing whatever it takes.

Today we are honored to introduce Kehlani, a bright and beautiful 3-year-old warrior, as one of our newest Gifts of Love recipients from the Stefany Andrews Boyett foundation. 💙

Little Kehlani has already shown a strength far beyond her years. Her journey has been shared lovingly by her mom, Julie, on their page “Kehlani Strong,” where countless people have been touched by this brave little girl’s fight and her family’s unwavering faith.

Kehlani continues to face medical challenges that no child should ever have to endure, yet she meets each day with courage. Julie’s updates reflect both the hardship and the hope that come with this journey — and remind us why community support matters so deeply.

In Stefany’s memory — and in honor of her legacy of giving — it is our privilege to walk alongside Kehlani and her family with love, prayer, and support.

🙏 Please join us in praying for Kehlani — for healing, strength, comfort, and brighter days ahead.

Today, we are honored to introduce Justin McKimmey as one of our newest Gift of Love recipients from the Stefany Andrews Boyett Foundation. 💙

Justin is a devoted son, a loving father, a fiancé, and a veteran. In late October 2023, what began as a suspected appendicitis turned into an emergency diagnosis of a tumor in his colon with a small bowel obstruction. After a two-week hospital stay—including a bowel resection to remove the tumor, his appendix, and over 60 lymph nodes—Justin received the news that he has Stage IIIb adenocarcinoma colon cancer, and has since found out it has advanced to stage IV.

Justin has endured a lot since his diagnosis and continues to receive chemotherapy every two weeks. Though this journey is long, Justin faces it with unwavering hope and strength.

In Stefany’s spirit of compassion, our foundation is blessed to walk alongside Justin and his loved ones with prayer, encouragement, and practical support.

Keep Justin and his family in your prayers for healing, endurance, and peace.

Let’s show Justin that he is surrounded by a community of love and that no one fights alone. 💙

Let us introduce you to one of our most recent Gift of Love recipients — Kira White. It is our honor to bless Kira with a donation from our foundation, created in memory of Stefany. To carry on her legacy of giving and compassion with intentional acts of kindness.

Kira is a 42-year-old single mother of three young children, ages 5, 7, and 8. She is doing everything she can to keep life as normal as possible for them. In February of this year, Kira was diagnosed with breast cancer. She is currently undergoing chemotherapy, which will continue through October, followed by surgery.

Each day is a struggle as she pushes through the exhaustion and side effects to care for her children. Her mom and other family members are doing what they can to help — watching the kids, preparing meals, and offering support — but the weight of this battle still falls heavily on her shoulders.

Before her diagnosis, Kira was homeschooling her children. Since beginning treatment, however, she’s had to make some hard decisions and make arrangements for their education. Despite the challenges, Kira remains a humble and private young woman, deeply grateful for the kindness and support she has received.

When I told her that we would all be praying for her, she began to cry. Your donations have made a real difference in her life, and she is sincerely appreciative of every single one of you.

Thank you for being part of this journey with Kira and so many others. Your generosity is truly a Gift of Love.

If your heart leads you, Kira has a go fund me account that you may contribite to!

Today, we want to introduce you to Daniel McCowen, one of our most recent recipients of a Gift of Love from the Stefany Andrews Boyett Foundation. 💙

Daniel is a husband, a father, a fighter, and a source of inspiration to everyone around him. In 2024, he was diagnosed with glioblastoma—an aggressive form of brain cancer that changed the course of his life. Since then, he has bravely endured surgeries, treatments, and countless moments of uncertainty. Through it all, he’s continued to fight with deep love for his family, and strength rooted in faith.

Recently, Daniel underwent follow-up scans that show the surgical area is healing, but there remains a small area of concern that could indicate tumor recurrence. While this journey is far from over, Daniel continues to face each day with remarkable courage and hope.

It’s our honor to bless Daniel with a Gift of Love from our foundation, created in memory of Stefany—to carry on her legacy of giving and compassion through intentional acts of kindness. Our mission is to walk alongside those battling cancer through prayer, encouragement, and support.

Please join us in keeping Daniel and his family in your prayers. And if you feel led, you can also support him through his GoFundMe page here:

The Stefany Andrews Boyett Foundation was created in memory of Stefany, to carry on her legacy of giving and to make a difference with intentional acts of kindness. Our mission is to provide PrayerBears for children at Cook Children’s Medical Center and give monetarily to those that are battling cancer.
Today we want to introduce you to Camila, she is one of our most recent recipients of a Gift of Love! She is a wife, a mom a friend and so many things to everyone around her. In October of 2024 Camila was diagnosed with breast cancer. She has an incredible positive attitude and the love and support of her loving husband and children. Camila tells us after recovering from surgery she is now almost halfway through with her chemo treatments and then radiation will begin. The last part of her treatment will be hormone therapy, so as you can imagine she has a long road ahead of her. All of this and she has expressed she wants to give back… she crochets and plans to make a bear for our upcoming PrayerBear drive! What a friend we have found in Camila.
Please join us in keeping her in our thoughts and prayers.
