MEET CADEN

I’m Caden Woltjer and I’m 12 years old. I live in Marble Rock with my parents, Bev & John Duncomb, 2 older brothers and 2 older sisters. I’m an uncle to 4 nieces and love and enjoy my nieces very much. I’m a 6th grader at RRMR Schools in Rockford. I’m involved in 4H and really enjoy showing calves at the fair and just being at the fair with my friends. I’m an avid military buff as my brother, Wes, is a Marine, my grandpa was in the Air Force and my Uncle Gary in the Army. I enjoy watching football and am a huge Dallas Cowboy’s fan!

MEET LEMAN

I’m Leman and I live in Northwood, IA with my wife, Eve and our 12-year-old twin boys, Simon and Mason. I have lived a rather painful life. When I was in middle school, I started having awful hip pain. It was finally taken care of after my 3rd hip surgery more than 15 years later…

MEET TANYA KAPLER

Tanya Kapler is a mother of 5, a woman of great faith, with the determination to fight her cancer head on. After Tanya’s initial diagnosis of cervical cancer, and then finally feeling like herself again after treatments, she was hit with the news the cancer had spread and was now stage 4. Please consider a donation to help us create a magical space for Tanya.

MEET ROURKE WACHOLZ

6-year-old Rourke is going into his 3rd year of chemo in the hopes of saying farewell to the High-Risk B-cell Acute lymphoblastic leukemia he was diagnosed with at the age of 4. When asked what one item Rourke was hoping to have in his new bedroom, he replied with a big grin “a LOFT BED”. Please consider a donation so Rourke gets that loft bed he so badly wants, in a bedroom totally designed with all his favorite things.

MEET TERRY JENSON

Terry Jensen is a decorated soldier in the US Army National Guard. He never imagined that his biggest battle would not be the time he served in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2004-2005, but rather fighting the cancer in in own body. My Happy Haven is pleased to announce Terry Jensen as the next recipient of a bedroom makeover. He will soon have a peaceful place to heal and recover.

MEET JORDAN COCHRAN

My name is Jordan, I’m a 32 year old mom of a 2.5yo boy and wife to my wonderful husband John of 10 years.In august, we found out I was pregnant and two weeks later we got my cancer diagnosis. Stage 3 triple negative metaplastic breast cancer, with a 90% growth rate. One week later I had a single mastectomy and two weeks after that we started chemo. 13 rounds of chemo and a successful delivery later I have a beautiful baby girl! We still have more chemo, immunotherapy and lots of tests to go. However, we take this journey one day at a time with patience and an annoying amount of positivity.
