Charna Ophus Seibert Benefit Quilt Raffle will be held on September 20, Charna's Birthday. Charna's doctor told her to celebrate life as her cancer will be a struggle to overcome. Charna is celebrating and embracing life.

Charna will be travelling to Germany soon to receive treatment which is not paid for by insurance. This treatment will need to be paid for prior to receiving the treatment.

To support Charna there has been two bank accounts created, one at Wells-Fargo and one at Independence Bank in Havre.
