Hello, our names are Kaylie Kraft and Jessi Bandy. We are reaching out on behalf of our dad/stepdad, Troy.

Recently, Troy was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic tongue cancer, and our family is still trying to process this devastating news. Troy is not only an incredible father and husband, but also a deeply valued member of his community. For many years, he has dedicated his life to helping others recover from addiction, always putting others before himself.

As he begins this fight, his treatment plan will include chemotherapy and radiation. Because his job requires frequent travel across the United States, continuing to work during treatment will be extremely difficult, if not impossible.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help ease the financial burden on Troy and his wife, Barbara, during this time. Donations will go toward medical expenses, as well as everyday costs like rent, utilities, and groceries—allowing him to focus fully on his treatment and recovery.

We have strong faith that God will walk alongside Troy through this battle, and we are holding onto hope for healing and strength in the days ahead.

If you are able to give, share, or simply keep Troy in your prayers, we are incredibly grateful for your support. It truly means more than words can express.
