My dad, Matt, also known as Jimmy, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and sadly, the cancer has spread aggressively throughout his body. Even with this devastating diagnosis, my dad is determined to fight. What he wants most is to be surrounded by love, happiness, and hope.

More than anything, my mom, Franki, and my dad want to spend this time together. They have been married for 31 years, and what matters most now is that my mom can step away from work and be fully present with him. Sadly, she has already used all of her vacation and sick days while caring for my dad, which means that any further time off will be completely unpaid.

The funds raised will go directly toward medical bills and living expenses, helping to ease the heavy financial burden. More importantly, your support will give my mom the ability to be by my dad’s side during this critical time. Every moment is precious, and your generosity will help give them the gift of time and some much needed peace of mind.

I never imagined I would be making a page like this, and I honestly don’t even know what to set as a goal. No amount of money can take away the pain, but your kindness can bring comfort by lightening the financial strain. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference by allowing my parents to focus on what truly matters, being together and fighting this battle.

Please consider supporting my dad, whether through a donation, sharing this page, or keeping him in your thoughts and prayers. Your love and support mean the world to our family and will help my dad continue his fight with my mom right by his side.
