Prayers for StephKillsit

Guess this means we will have to pray even harder.

Amen !  I pray and think positive thought every morning for OUR Steph !

Dear Steph and Family, somehow  the very upsetting news of your illness has just reached me more than a week late. I am so very, very sorry to hear this. Steph, even though we've not met, your posts are ones that I always read; they have a great attitude and are fun too.

There just aren't many women in the forum, and that makes you rare, extra special, but your family already knows that.  So if you're not well, that really upsets me and I think everyone else here.

We're all decent fishermen, and we know that sometimes the bite isn't quite on...yet. But we also know that if we keep our lines in the water, you will get better!

Imagine this:  Several hundred crazy kayak fishermen, all with their lines in the waters all around YOU!  You are not getting away from us, no way — we will bring you up!  You will fish with us again, so fight on!

Tight lines Girl, and Pinay power!!

We are sharing all of these messages with Steph (Jeff iroelikethat read all up through Friday to her) and we will continue to share with the family. Old#7 showed Stephs Dad the NCKA site Friday and showed him a ton of pics so he would know more of what we are about at NCKA. You are all amazing.

Thank you California Canoe & Kayak (Keith Miller & Tammy Borichevsky) !!!

StephKillsit, a NorCal Kayak Angler and all around badass, has had the unthinkable happen. About 2 weeks ago out of the blue Stephanie Lopez aka StepKillsit started having seizures to the point she has had to be completely sedated to stop them. She has been moved to UCSF and is under the best care possible. But still the Dr's have not been able to diagnose and treat the cause of the seizures. When they try to reduce the medication Steph's seizures immediately return.
The NorCal Kayak Anglers community is known for taking care of its own. After reading in more detail about what Steph has been going through it tore me up inside. The owners of California Canoe & Kayak (Keith Miller & Tammy Borichevsky) contacted asking them to donate a kayak to be raffled off for Steph. I got a call back quicker than I was expecting and I could hear the concern for Steph in Keith's voice. He told me that as soon as he and Tammy read my email there was no hesitation in their decision. So I will be picking up a new 2013 Hobie Quest 13 from the Rancho Cordova shop next week.
We will be raffling off this 2013 Hobie Quest13, and the tickets will cost $20 each.
All $$ raised will go to Steph and her family to help them through this terrible time in their life, and if there is any left over it will stay in the Pay It Forward (PIF) fund for future NCKA members in need. If you want to know more about the PIF, there are more details here:

The drawing will take place on Saturday April 29, 2017 via live video on Facebook. The winner of the kayak will either need to pick up, coordinate pickup via "NCKA express", or pay for shipping.
Please, please, please if you have the ability to help buy a raffle ticket, make a donation, and share this as much as you can so we can make sure that during this time all Steph and her family's focus is on her health. If nothing else please say a prayer or send healing thoughts to Steph.
Here is the link to buy raffle tickets or make a donation.

THANK YOU for your donations, thoughts and prayers!!!

When awful things happen to good people, it questions my strength and make me realize our precious life is. I believe that  community strength and love aids in healing.  All your thoughts and prayers directed to Steph are warranted and needed.  Send money to her family so they can weather this tragedy without financial ruin.  NCKA has always stood ready to help each other.
