<div>Hello, I am Laura Porter and I’m creating this fundraiser for my cousin Jenn and her partner, Casey, who are facing the difficult challenges of his cancer battle. The goal is to help ease their burden and remind them they are not alone. Any contribution — whether through a donation or by sharing their story — will mean so much to them and to all who love them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Mission: Get Casey Healthy</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Diagnosis That Changed Everything
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In May, Casey thought he had a pulled back muscle. Within days, the pain became unbearable, and he was unable to get out of bed. A trip to the ER revealed the devastating truth:
</div>
<div><strong><em>Stage 4 Renal Cell Carcinoma, already spread to his spine and ribs.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Fight Begins</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since that day, Casey has been in a nonstop battle for his health. He’s undergone three major spinal surgeries to remove tumors and stabilize his back—surgeries that were critical to preserving his ability to walk. Complications followed, including a dangerous episode of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), extending his hospital stay.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After rehab, Casey returned home and began double immunotherapy to slow the cancer’s growth. The side effects were brutal, and he was hospitalized again. He’s now completed that round and is awaiting next steps.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What’s Next</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Radiation therapy is planned for his spine, but it’s been delayed due to healing and the complexity of his case. Just last week, Casey underwent a lumbar puncture and myelogram to help guide the radiation team. Treatment will begin soon.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Asking for Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Casey has been unable to work since May. His medical leave is running out, and without returning to work in October, he risks losing his insurance. He wants to go back—but he needs to be strong enough to do so.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Jenn, his soulmate and primary support, has been by his side every step of the way. As a nurse, she’s been present for every hospital stay and treatment. But being there has meant stepping away from work, and now her own leave time and PTO are nearly gone. The emotional toll is heavy, and the financial strain is growing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This couple doesn’t like asking for help—but they need it now. Medical bills and everyday expenses are piling up, and they’re finally putting pride aside to accept the love and support being offered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many have already helped with meals and gift cards, bringing moments of peace and relief. Others have asked how they can help—and this is how.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, every share, every word of encouragement helps lighten the load and bring hope to a family fighting for more time together.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What You’re Supporting</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong><em>Continued medical care and treatments</em></strong>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Living expenses while Casey and Jenn are unable to work</em></strong>
</li>
<li><strong><em>Peace of mind during an incredibly difficult time</em></strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Casey has four amazing boys to watch grow, dreams to chase, projects to finish, and concerts to attend. Let’s help him get there.
</div>
<div><br />

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>From Our Hearts to Yours</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We know times are tough for many, and asking for help is never easy. But your support—whether it’s a donation, a share, or a kind message—means more than words can express. It’s not just financial help; it’s hope. It’s strength. It’s love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>"Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul—and sings the tune without the words—and never stops at all."</em>
</div>
<div><em>— Emily Dickinson</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Thank you for standing with Casey and Jenn. Thank you for believing in their fight. And thank you for being part of this journey</strong>
</div>
