In April 2025, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer with metastasis to my liver. Since then, I have been through 12 chemotherapy treatments, 3 surgeries, one liver ablation, and countless scans and procedures. My treatment concluded on December 31, 2025, and I hoped I was moving into a calmer chapter of recovery.

However, a preventative scan in July of this year revealed a new mass on my liver. It initially measured 3.4 cm and has now grown to 5.2 cm. Because of this, I will be undergoing liver resection surgery, and I expect to be out of work for about a month while I recover.

I am starting this fundraiser because this next surgery brings another stretch of medical costs along with everyday living expenses at a time when I will not be able to work. Support from this fundraiser will help cover cost of living and associated medical expenses during my recovery, so I can focus on getting through surgery and healing.

If you are able to give, any donation would mean a great deal to me. If you are not in a position to donate, sharing this fundraiser would also help more than I can say. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting me through this next step.
