Hi, I’m Dustin, and I’m reaching out today to ask for your help and support for my incredible brother-in-law, Joseph P. He is currently facing an extremely tough battle with Stage 4 colorectal cancer, and the road to recovery has been anything but easy. He now has a Ileostomy Bag and has been fighting to recover from this extensive surgery forever changing His Life. Stage 4 Cancer was found in several places in his small intestines so chemo will begin to battle this cancer and with Gods Grace Joseph’s determination and fight to live he will fight to survive. Strong will and help from friends and family will be crucial.
The Struggle:
Joseph was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and after a long and difficult journey, he underwent surgery to remove a large portion of his colon. The surgery was a crucial step in his fight, but it is just the beginning. Once he fully recovers from the surgery, Joseph will start chemotherapy treatments to continue battling the cancer that still remains in his body.
The recovery from surgery has been hard, and the physical, emotional, and financial toll this journey is taking on Joseph and his family is significant. As Joseph works to heal and regain his strength, the need for continued treatment and care is overwhelming.
How Funds Will Help:
We are asking for your generosity to help us raise funds to cover Joseph’s ongoing medical expenses, including:
Chemotherapy treatments and doctor’s visits following his surgery, and so many things needed to be able to be home and able to have home care.
Prescription costs for medications to manage pain and support recovery
Travel expenses for appointments with specialists and treatments
Day-to-day living costs during his recovery and treatment period
Supporting his family while he is unable to work
Every dollar raised will go directly toward helping Joseph during this challenging time, ensuring he can focus on his health and healing without the added stress of mounting medical bills.
How You Can Help:
If you’re able, please consider donating. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in Joseph’s fight. Even if you can’t contribute financially, there are other ways you can offer support:

A Note of Gratitude:
We are beyond grateful for each of you who takes the time to read Joseph’s story, donate, or share it with others. Your generosity and kind words are more meaningful than we can express. Please keep Joseph and our family in your thoughts and prayers as he embarks on the next phase of his recovery and treatment.
