I'm Laura, John's little sister. My brother needs your prayers. John went to the Austintown emergency center Tuesday, July 22nd, thinking he had the flu or food poisoning, as he was unable to keep anything down. They performed a CT scan and numerous X-rays on his stomach and inserted a nasogastric tube to suction out green bile caused by a blockage. After exploratory surgery last Friday, he underwent major surgery on Monday, July 28, 2025, to remove a cancerous mass around his pancreas. The doctors end up doing a whipple procedure. This has been overwhelming for John and our entire family. Please pray for God to bless and keep him safe throughout this journey. By the time John leaves the hospital, he'll have spent about three weeks there, had two surgeries, and will start chemotherapy shortly after. This financial burden is huge; any donation to help John would be greatly appreciated. Any donations will help pay for his treatment and medical bills.
Please pray for my brother. ❤️

UPDATE: Please keep my brother in your prayers. He is still in the hospital, and struggling with pain and nausea.

Thank you to everyone who has donated to help John and our family. ❤️

UPDATE:
Please pray for John.
  • He had a complication from surgery. He start throwing up green bile. Another CT scan and scope was done yesterday. They found a pancreatic leak and surgical drain was inserted, and fluids were removed from his stomach. He was moved back on the ICU floor. Please continue to pray for him. Thank you ❤️
