Hello, I am Robin Foster. I am here trying to raise money for my son, Tyler. About a month ago, he realized that he had excess fluid accumulating in his abdomen. This led to an ER visit where they had to drain the fluid. There were no explanations as to why the fluid was there, so they released him.

In the last 30 days, he has had to have the fluid aspirated five times and had multiple hospital stays. He is a hard worker, wonderful son, amazing father of two boys, and a friend to everyone. He serves our community as a volunteer firefighter (since he was 14). Unfortunately, his company does not have medical insurance, leaving him with astronomical medical bills. Due to this illness, he has missed multiple days of work, and will continue to be out of work for multiple weeks to come.

Update: Tyler has gotten the diagnosis of Parateneal mesothelioma. He starts Chemotherapy, next week, and will continue that for about 4 months. If the tumors have shrunken enough, then he anticipates having surgery. This is going to be a long journey, so he and his family need all the help he can get.

I am requesting that you help, all you can, every little bit helps. If you can't help, we understand, but please share his story with others.

Update: Tyler is supposed to start Chemo this week. He will be unable to work for several months during this time. He, and his family, need support during this time.

13/20/25 update. Chemo has begun and Tyler is having to go bi-weekly for parasyntis. He is unable to work at this time and bills are still adding up. Any help you could give is much appreciated.
