Someone near and dear to our Vanilla Bean Kings family is bravely battling a serious lung cancer diagnosis with metastases to her brain and lymph nodes. Rita is a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, and grandmother who selflessly goes out of her way to help others at a moment’s notice. We have a big family, which can be overwhelming, but Rita happily makes sure we are all well fed and taken care of. She is the stepmother of Brittany and mother-in-law of Taylor. After diagnosis in late April, she quickly began treatment in May 2025 in Sioux Falls. She recently traveled to meet specialists at the renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Her treatment plan includes ongoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy every three weeks, three hours from home, with regular travel to Houston for scans and follow ups.
As Rita continues this difficult journey, the financial burden is steadily growing — including medical expenses, frequent travel to Sioux Falls for treatment, trips to Houston for follow-up care and scans, and time away from work.
If you feel led to help, any donation — big or small — would mean the world to Rita and her family during this challenging time.
Vanilla Bean Kings will match all donations so the more you can help, the more we can help!
