In September 2025, my brother Bryan was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell carcinoma, an extremely aggressive form of lung cancer. He has fought bravely through every challenge, but recently, doctors shared that he is also believed to have Acute Myeloid Leukemia, another aggressive cancer. Bryan was able to come home on hospice care, surrounded by family and love.

Our family has endured unimaginable loss in a short time. About a month before Bryan’s first diagnosis, his young grandson passed away unexpectedly in his sleep. Just two weeks later, we lost our mother. The grief has been overwhelming, and now we are preparing to say goodbye to Bryan as well. Through it all, our family has tried to stay strong and support one another, but the emotional and financial toll has been heavy.

We are reaching out for help to cover Bryan’s cremation services and outstanding medical bills. Any support you can offer—whether it’s a donation or simply keeping us in your prayers—means the world to us. Thank you for reading our story and for any kindness you can share during this incredibly difficult time. God bless.
