About this campaign
All money and donations will go directly to paying off medical and travel bills associated with Hope's surgery, and my traveling home to be with her through it. Hope and I greatly appreciate all that has and will be given to us, and thank you all for your support.
My name is Holden Russell, and I am a Specialist in the Virginia Army National Guard. I have been under federal active duty orders for the last year in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, while my wife, Hope, resides at home in Richmond, Virginia.
Shortly after the new year, Hope was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. The plan was to have the cancer surgically removed, followed by radiation to ensure that it wouldn’t spread to any other parts of her body. I was devastated by the news, but grateful that the Army provided me with emergency leave so that I could be home for a couple of days before and after the surgery with her.
In order to give her body time to recover, Hope will be out of work with minimal pay for at least 6 weeks, which drops us down to one salary. It is difficult to be in this position asking for help, but extended time away from work, hospital bills and travel expenses accumulate quickly. To help with some of the costs, I’ve created a shirt that I feel represents the journey we have found ourselves on — the mountain represents Hopes never ending will to push forward, while the colors of the sunset (Teal, Pink, and Blue) represent the specific fight against Thyroid Cancer.
We appreciate you taking the time to hear our story and are incredibly grateful for any and all support we may receive!

Helping out our two amazing children!
Cancer sucks! Glad that you will be getting the support you deserve and thank you both for serving and supporting the service to our country.
Love you both so much!
I’m donating because Hope is an absolutely amazing person and a phenomenal brother of APO! She’s also one of the toughest chicks I know, and is about to whip cancer’s ass.
Praying for Hope and the whole family during this difficult time.
