Many of you know Zach; a funny, hardworking, and humble person. What most don’t know is that he’s been facing very serious health challenges over the last two years. He’s undergone two brain surgeries and continues to navigate a difficult road of recovery. One of the challenges he faces right now is aphasia, which makes communication very difficult, but he is still fully intelligent.

Zach has always valued his privacy and independence (has not been open to receiving help until now, and even now it’s hard for him), but the reality is that medical expenses and time away from work have created a significant financial strain for us both. I’m starting this fundraiser to help ease that burden; to cover upcoming 2026 out of pocket medical bills, essential living costs and help him to focus fully on rest, healing, and happiness.

Due to the Aphasia, Zach has a hard time with his phone and communication. If you’d like to send words of love and support, please share them with me and I’ll make sure Zach receives every message. While it is tempting, texting him may be overwhelming at this time, I will update if that changes. Every donation, share, or kind thought truly helps and means more than we can say.

Thank you for your compassion and support during this time. <3

Any donations received in excess of our needs will be donated to the American Cancer Society.

With love and hugs,

Cheryl & Zach
