Ease the Burden on My Dad’s Brave Cancer Journey

Hi, my name is Kirsten, and I’m fundraising for my dad, Warren—one of the most humble, hardworking people I know.

In February 2025, our world shifted when my dad was diagnosed with Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. It was news no family ever wants to hear. Since then, he’s undergone the incredibly invasive Whipple surgery in March, and has now began an intense six-month chemotherapy regimen. Radiation therapy will follow.

Through it all, my dad has shown nothing but strength, quiet resilience, and a deeply rooted determination to keep going. But behind that strength is the very real weight of financial strain.

Even in retirement, my dad didn’t slow down—he took a job delivering flowers just to make ends meet. He’s always been the type to push through and never ask for help. But the toll of surgery and treatment has taken away his ability to work, and the bills haven’t stopped coming.

That’s why I’ve created this GoFundMe—to help ease the financial burden of his healing journey.

Funds will go toward:

• Medical expenses not fully covered by senior Pharmacare (including prescription meds, over-the-counter needs, and post-op care)

• Dental treatment, as chemotherapy is expected to affect his teeth and he doesn’t have great dental coverage

• Groceries and daily essentials while he's unable to work

• Monthly bills, which continue to pile up during this difficult time

Our goal is simple: to help my dad heal with as little stress as possible. He deserves that. Every bit of support helps lighten his load—whether it's a donation, a share, or simply kind words of encouragement.

We are incredibly grateful for your time, compassion, and support. Thank you for standing with my dad and our family as we walk through this together.
