Arlene Esser

Her Story

Meet Arlene Esser, a loving mother to three great men, mimi to 4 wonderful grandkids, and wonderfully devoted wife who was recently diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Mom has lived a full, joyous, vibrant life with family, Jesus and excitement for the future. However, in January 2022, mom's world was turned upside down when she began experiencing severe headaches and numbness in her limbs. After a series of medical tests, doctors delivered the devastating news that she had a glioblastoma brain tumor the size of an egg, a cancer that is notoriously difficult to treat. When the tumor was discovered, doctors told us that it was 3 months old. At the time, only mom and dad knew that 3 months prior, she was coerced into taking her covid shot, believing that it would be helpful to keeping her safe from the "pandemic".

​​

Since her diagnosis, mom has been fighting for her life. She has undergone an extensive brain surgery, radiation therapy, and extensive chemotherapy treatments, various forms of heavy medicine, but the cancer has continued to ehaust her system. On April 15th, 2025, mom's condition took a turn for the worse where she was admitted to the ICU with intensive infections within her internal system, causing mass neurological complications leaving her catatonic from multiple seizure-like actions and aspirating.​ To save mom's life, her medical team has undergone a series of extensive treatments in the ICU under phase 1 life support, heavy antibiotics with strong supporting medications and brainwave tracking.

However, these treatments have come with a heavy price tag where dad is not only bearing the weight of his best friend fighting for her life, but carrying the weight of the costs. Of course, my brothers and I are helping him as much as we possibly can. But we know our family is far beyond my brothers and I. So we're asking for your help in joining us in lightening his load.

​

In conjunction with the thousands of you who have stretched your faith towards us in prayer for absolute healing, we are trying to raise $50,000 to help cover mom's out of pocket medical expenses, including her ongoing treatment, hospital stays, and rehabilitation. Every dollar, even beyond our goal, will go directly to lighten the load dad has encountered. Your contribution will bring the family one step closer to helping mom recover from this life altering hurdle.

​

Our family is beyond grateful as thousands of you have shared your support in prayer for mom, believing in faith for a true healing and full recovery. And by partnering with us your generosity will help ensure that mom continues to receive the best possible care and give her the chance to fight for her life.

From the bottom to the top of our hearts, thank you for walking with us, side by side, standing in faith and support for mom's recovery. Lord knows she has been and will be forever grateful for each and every one of you.

And on behalf of my brothers and I, thank you for being part of our family!
