Fighting Brain Cancer — One Day, One Hope at a Time

 My name is Ed Hottle, and over the past year, my life has changed in ways I never imagined. What began as strange symptoms led to a devastating diagnosis — brain cancer. Since then, I’ve gone through surgery, proton therapy, chemotherapy, and countless hospital visits. Each treatment has taken its toll on my body, my energy, and my finances. But through it all, Lisa — the love of my life — has been by my side. She’s held my hand through every appointment, comforted me through the pain, and reminded me what we’re fighting for: life, love, and a future together. Even after completing proton therapy, recovery is a long road. My energy is low, my iron and protein levels have dropped, and I’m still dealing with the effects of treatment. I’m doing everything I can to rebuild — but the medical bills, medication costs, and living expenses keep piling up. I’ve always been someone who worked hard, who helped others before asking for help myself. But now, I’m asking. Not just for donations — but for hope. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps me cover treatment costs, medication, healthy food, and basic needs as I fight to heal. Lisa and I are deeply grateful for every message, every prayer, and every dollar shared. Your kindness means more than words can express. If you can, please donate or share our link to help us keep moving forward. Together, we believe there’s still so much life — and love — ahead.
