I'm reaching out to ask for help for our friend and colleague, Chris Woods. As you know, Chris has been battling a very aggressive cancer, and his health is deteriorating rapidly.

Chris is fiercely proud of his son Jack, who is thriving in his freshman year at Oklahoma State University. Jack is a member of the President's Leadership Program, the Honors Society, and the exclusive OSU Paddle People spirit club. He was awarded Student of the Month and is pursuing a degree in business and history with an interest in Sports Law. Education is everything to him, and getting a degree is a dream he shares with his father Chris.

The Challenge

The costs associated with Chris's extensive medical treatments have depleted the family's savings. The immediate priority is his comfort and care during this difficult time. This unexpected crisis has left Jack facing the very real possibility that he may have to leave school.

We're starting this GoFundMe to alleviate the financial stress of his upcoming tuition payment so that Jack can focus on what matters most right now: spending time with his father and supporting his family as they manage this aggressive disease.

How Your Donation Will Help

We are aiming to raise funds to help cover Jack's tuition for the upcoming year and associated living expenses (books, housing, etc.).

By contributing, you would be helping us honor Chris's dream of having his son graduate and providing Jack with the stability to continue his education amidst this difficult situation.

How Else You Can Help

If you're unable to donate, you can still be a huge help by sharing this fundraiser link with your own networks. The more people who see this, the better chance we have of reaching our goal.

Please keep Chris and his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much for your time, kindness, and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Admissions Team and Chris's family
