Erin Merkley with her husband Michael and three children, ranging in age from 1 to 9 years old. Erin has light skin, sandy brown hair past her shoulders, and a homemade snowman face ball cap hat. Her husband has light skin and blue eyes and wears a textured pink floppy hat. He holds their youngest son who has light skin and short brown hair. One daughter is with Rrin with dark near-black straight hair and bangs. Behind her, eldest daughter has light skin, blonde hair past her shoulders, and black rimmed glasses.

A “Cancer Payback Carnival” and Halloween family fun festival is the latest fundraiser to rally the community of Erin Merkley, a mother of three living with aggressive stage 2B breast cancer that has metastasized.

Erin is fundraising with Help Hope Live for a carefully selected pain-free, less-invasive treatment plan that fits her goals for the future. The treatment is not covered by insurance, leaving Erin and her family with a substantial financial burden.
