Episode 234: Vivian’s Hope Foundation – Vivian and Jessica Oettel

This week on The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, I’m thrilled to welcome the dynamic and inspiring mother-daughter duo, Jessica and Vivian Oettel, founders of Vivian’s Hope Foundation. Vivian, just 11 years old, has already fought many battles throughout her young life and is a beacon of light to the world, as is her amazing mama. 

In 2022, Vivian was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoma, which turned the Oettel family’s world upside down. But this incredible family banded together to support Vivian through her health journey and was surrounded by immense love and support from friends and family. Inspired by their own experience, the Oettels decided to create a foundation to help other families with children facing cancer and other illnesses. Now, they’re doing remarkable work as a family to support others, just as they have been supported and loved during their times of need.

Vivian’s Hope Foundation is dedicated to providing essential items like mattress pads, gas cards, DoorDash and other meal delivery gift cards, and anything else families may need during long hospital stays and treatments. Their work is a testament to the idea that we can all do something to help individuals and families going through illness or hospitalization.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Jessica and Vivian’s inspiring life stories;
• The heartbreaking journey of Vivian’s T-Cell Lymphoma diagnosis;
• How Vivian and her family have held on to hope and fought for her life;
