Word can’t explain how grateful I am to TeamCrista Foundation!! This is not the first time they have help us with a donation. The first time we found out Marli had cancer they drove all the way from Morton, Tx to Friona, Tx it’s a hour drive and they drove here with out a problem. Prayed for Marli in my living room with my kid and my self. As everyone knows Marli’s Cancer relapsed we found out April 01,2026 we’ve been having problems with Marli’s insurance. With this donation we can possibly pay part of the bills I have been getting for her stays in the hospital. I’m so thankful they reached out to me and helped us with this donation. THANK YOU SO MUCH TeamCrista Foundation, Inc. May God bless yall

Hey Facebook friends and family!! On April 1, 2026, we found out that Marli's cancer relapsed. The worst news we could ever receive. This cancer is not in her brain, as it was the first time. She now has it in her right femur, left femur, pelvis, spine, sternum, bilateral ribs, right humerus, and bilateral scapula. She has very small tumors in these areas they cannot be operated on because they are so small. Her doctor in Lubbock said that the disease is more severe and really hard to fight. Dr. Barr is sending her to Cooks in Fort Worth for a second opinion. Here in Lubbock, they are only offering a 12-month chemotherapy, which they don't generally it will work. We have done some research on a bone marrow transplant that is offered in Dallas/Houston it's a pricey treatment. With this being said, my brother Miguel is raffling tickets for some briskets he will cook. He said the winner can pick up the brisket and choose whatever date you want it cooked. He will cook it. We are also going to raffle some other stuff, but separate from the brisket. If you're wanting a ticket, you can message Miguel Cumpian, Abby Cumpian, Becca Cumpian, or myself we all have tickets. If you have any questions you can message me. I really appreciate all the help and support, especially prayers from every single one of you.$10.00 per ticket PLEASE SHARE
