On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, my brother Sam suffered a sudden brain hemorrhage and was rushed to the hospital. What began as an ordinary day quickly became a life-changing moment for Sam and our family.

If you know Sam, you know how much of his heart he pours into being a cheer coach. He has dedicated his time and energy to helping young athletes grow, build confidence, and reach their goals. Right now, Sam is hospitalized and making progress, but he still has a long road to recovery ahead. He is experiencing difficulties with his speech, memory, and mobility, and he will need extensive physical, occupational, and speech therapy as he heals.

Because of this, Sam will be unable to work for some time. Once he is discharged, he will be staying with family while continuing his recovery. The financial needs will not end when he leaves the hospital. Ongoing support will help cover the continuing costs of medical care, therapy, medications, transportation to appointments, and everyday living expenses while he is unable to work.

Whether you are able to give once or support Sam on a recurring basis, every donation will help ease the financial burden on him during this recovery. Recurring donations can make a meaningful difference by helping with the expenses that will continue over time as Sam works to rebuild his strength.

Thank you for cheering Sam on during this difficult time. If you are able, please donate or share this fundraiser to help him focus on healing and, in time, get back to doing what he loves: coaching cheer and inspiring young athletes.
