Alan is a devoted father doing everything he can to raise his two youngest boys, including one who has autism and is non-verbal - all while fighting lymphoma. His entire life revolves around making sure they’re safe, supported, and loved.

Recently, Alan’s world was turned upside down as he was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer that has already brought multiple hospitalizations and a difficult chemotherapy schedule. Between the physical toll of treatments and the constant medical appointments, Alan has struggled to work full time. As a result, basic living expenses have become a source of overwhelming stress on top of an already life-altering diagnosis.

I’ve known Alan for most of my adult life. This is a man who never asks for help yet doesn’t hesitate to help others. We’ve been through it all together - burying our best friend Zack a few years ago… Alan has stood by my side through marriage, divorce, and every moment of life in between. He has always been the person who gives, who shows up, who cares - even when he’s dealing with his own challenges. He carries a smile and a softness that very few people can maintain in times like these.

This GoFundMe is to help relieve the financial pressure so Alan can focus on what matters: healing, caring for his boys, and getting through treatment with dignity and support. Funds will go towards rent, utilities, groceries, childcare needs, and time away from work during chemotherapy.

If you can donate or simply share, it will mean more than you know. Thank you for helping Alan and his boys during the fight of their lives.
