The Marlin family?Krista, her husband Nate, and their two boys, Ezra (5) and Elliott (9)?are walking through an incredibly difficult season. Krista, who is truly sunshine in human form, was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is a devoted mother, a compassionate teacher, and a friend who brings warmth and light wherever she goes.

As Krista begins chemotherapy, the side effects will make it difficult?if not impossible?for her to continue working. Along with the emotional toll, this season will bring mounting medical expenses and added financial strain for their family.

To help support the Marlins during this time, we are hosting an apparel fundraiser. T-shirts, bracelets, and other accessories are available for purchase, with all proceeds going directly to the family to help cover medical costs and everyday expenses.

Wearing this apparel is more than just showing support?it?s a way to surround Krista and her family with visible love and encouragement. Every purchase makes a meaningful difference and helps lighten their load so they can focus on healing and being together.

If you know Krista, you know how much she pours into her students, her friends, and her community. Now it?s our turn to give back.

Thank you for standing with the Marlin family and showing what community can do when we come together.
