Support Wyatt’s Fight Against Lymphoma

Our family has walked this road before.

On April 6, 2021, our daughter Ivy was diagnosed with leukemia—one of the hardest seasons of our lives.

By God’s grace, she is doing great today—healthy, strong, and thriving.

We truly believed that chapter was behind us.

Now, we find ourselves here again.

Wyatt’s Diagnosis?

Our 10-year-old son Wyatt started having symptoms that didn’t feel quite right. What began as concern quickly turned into a series of appointments, scans, and tests.

As parents, there’s nothing more difficult than watching your child in pain and not being able to fix it.

After multiple tests, including imaging and a biopsy, we received the diagnosis:

Diffuse large B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Hearing the word “cancer” connected to your child… for the second time… is something we never imagined we would face again.

What We Know So Far?

We are still in the early stages of understanding the full picture. Wyatt has undergone extensive testing, including a PET scan to determine the stage and spread of the cancer.

There have been some encouraging signs:

• No cancer detected in his spine or brain fluid

• Bone marrow appears strong (pending final confirmation)

We are holding onto those positives tightly.

At the same time, we are still waiting on final results that will determine the exact treatment plan and what the road ahead will look like.

What Comes Next?

Wyatt will need to receive treatment in Spokane, Washington.

This means a major shift for our entire family.

Depending on how things go, treatment could be:

• As short as 9 weeks

• Or extend up to 9 months

Right now, we simply don’t know. And that uncertainty is one of the hardest parts.

One parent will need to be in Spokane with Wyatt during treatment, while the rest of our children remain at home. We’re doing everything we can to balance being present for Wyatt while still caring for our other kids and keeping life as stable as possible for them.

Who Wyatt Is?

Wyatt is incredibly brave.

Even through the pain, the tests, and the unknowns—he has handled all of this with a strength that humbles us. He doesn’t complain. He just keeps going.

He’s a kid who should be focused on playing, laughing, and growing up—not fighting cancer.

And yet, here he is… facing it head-on.

A Family That Has Walked This Road Before

Because of Ivy’s journey, we know what this road can look like.

We understand the hospital days. The waiting. The emotional toll. The strain it puts on a family.

But we also know something else:

We’ve seen healing. We’ve seen strength. We’ve seen God carry us through before.

And we are holding onto that same hope for Wyatt.

The Reality We’re Facing?

This diagnosis impacts every part of our lives:

• Time away from work

• Extended stays in another city

• Travel, housing, and daily living expenses

• Caring for six children across two locations

• Emotional and physical strain on our entire family

We are doing everything we can to stay strong and steady—but we also know we can’t do this alone.

How You Can Help?

If you feel led to support our family, here are a few ways you can help:

• Financial support to help with travel, housing, and medical-related expenses

• Prayers for Wyatt’s healing, strength, and peace

• Sharing this page to help us reach others

Every bit of support—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual—means more than we can put into words.

From Our Family

We don’t have all the answers yet.

We don’t know exactly what the coming months will look like.

But we do know this:

We’ve walked through something like this before… and we are trusting God to carry us through again.

We are taking this one day at a time. We are holding onto hope. And we are deeply grateful for everyone standing with us.

Thank you for loving our family. Thank you for supporting Wyatt. And thank you for being part of this journey.
