Three weeks ago, my wife Stephanie went from planning our future to fighting for her life.

She was diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GBM)—an aggressive, life-threatening brain cancer. Overnight, everything changed..

What started as headaches, vertigo, weakness, and slurred speech led to scans no family is prepared for.

“This looks like glioblastoma. We need to act immediately.”

Stephanie has already undergone major brain surgery.

She is now recovering with staples across her scalp—strong, brave, and determined beyond words.

Why We Need Help

Asking for help is not easy. But this is bigger than anything I can handle alone.

Between surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, follow-ups, and caring for our children, the financial pressure is growing fast.

My greatest fear isn’t just the diagnosis—it’s being forced to choose between working more hours and being present while my wife fights for her life.

I want to be there for every scan, every treatment, every hard day.

How Your Support Helps

Your donation helps cover:

• Medical bills not fully covered by insurance

• Radiation & chemotherapy co-pays

• Travel, parking, and transportation

• Speech & physical therapy

• Time off work to attend treatments

• Childcare and household support

Every dollar lifts one piece of fear from our family.
