Help Elliot Fight Cancer, Disability, and a Future Cut Short

Elliot is just 23. A devoted father, a loving husband, and an Airman who proudly served his country. Now, he’s facing the unthinkable.

Three years ago, Elliot survived a devastating car accident that changed everything. The crash left him with a traumatic brain injury that permanently damaged much of the white matter in his brain. As if that weren’t enough, doctors discovered a growing cyst on his T2 vertebra—now over 5 centimeters wide—that is expected to cause full paraplegia within the next three years.

But life just dealt Elliot another cruel blow. He has a preliminary diagnosis of non-Hodgkins lymphoma (to be confirmed by biopsy), with masses in his nasopharynx, throat, lungs, and very likely his central nervous system as well. Treatment must begin immediately, but it will further complicate his spinal condition and neurological deficits. There are no easy answers—just one hard road after another.

The prognosis is not good.

Elliot is in the process of being medically discharged from the Air Force, cutting off his primary income and the military healthcare that sustained his family. His beautiful young wife, Kati, is doing everything she can to hold their world together while caring for their kindergarten daughter and preparing for an uncertain future.

They need help—now and in the difficult months ahead. Your donation will go directly toward medical bills, housing, mobility equipment, childcare, and the everyday expenses of a family fighting to survive what no family should ever face.

Elliot has already given so much. He has faced trauma with courage, fatherhood with joy, and illness with grit beyond his years.

Now it’s our turn to give back.

Please help this young family with whatever you can. Share their story. Donate. Stand with them in this fight for life, dignity, and time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
