Hi! Friends and family of Jeff have created this fundraiser to help him and his family, as he battles throat cancer.

Jeff’s cancer was diagnosed just a little over a year ago. After two unsuccessful surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunotherapy, the cancer remained and swallowing became difficult. Soon, Jeff began to struggle to breathe, so he underwent a third surgery to remove a mass blocking his airway. A week later, a fourth surgery was performed, in hope that he would be cancer-free, but it required the removal of his voice box and thyroid. That surgery was over 13 hours long and included reconstructive surgery, taking skin and muscle grafts from his legs and chest. He underwent a 5th surgery a day later to stop internal bleeding. Within a few days the skin and muscle grafts failed, so a sixth surgery was performed.

Denielle, his wife of almost 20 years, has been by Jeff's side throughout his arduous battle. Having traveled with him hours away from home for the numerous treatments and being at his bedside during his life-threatening surgeries, she has been limited in her ability to financially provide for Jeff and their son, David, during this very trying time.

We are raising funds to directly help them to alleviate some of the mounting medical costs and travel expenses they are facing.

A loving, devoted husband and father, Jeff has been in the Financial Services field, serving his clients for close to 20 years as a business owner. He loves spending time outdoors hiking and being in nature. A Boy Scout volunteer, he helped his son achieve the respectable honor of an Eagle Scout. Whether spending time with family or helping others in need, Jeff’s willingness to give has always been an integral part of his life. A Christian with a strong faith, Jeff believes that God is in control of his life and trusts Jesus to give him strength and courage through this all.

We thank every one of you for your consideration in donating to help Jeff and his family in their time of great need. In addition to your financial support, your prayers would be greatly appreciated.
