My name is Kristina Richie, and Rogan's dad is a family friend of ours. We are raising funds to surprise this family with a brand new manufactured home on Saturday, May 16th. Their youngest son, Rogan, has been fighting cancer for the last 5 years, after being given only two years to live. Their current home is nearly 30 years old, and was damaged in a storm which put holes in the roof. The air conditioner couldn't keep up, so it gave out. No air conditioning + water entering the home = mold. That is no way for this family to live, and no way for a boy fighting cancer to try to get better.
Titan Direct Homes has offered us a beautiful home for this family at a 50% discount, requiring us to only raise $80k to get them in a new home! They have also generously gifted two decks, skirting, demolition and setup, a metal roof, and many upgrades. The new home will be replacing the existing one, and our construction company will be providing the dirt pad and permanent connections to the home. Please help us make this surprise come to fruition! 100% of the funds will go directly to Titan Homes towards the purchase of the manufactured home. And thank you Titan Direct!!
At just 5 years old, Rogan was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. Since then, he has endured brain surgery, radiation, and aggressive chemotherapy. He had to relearn how to walk and speak. He lost the use of his right arm. And when the cancer came back, it spread.
He was given less than two years.
His body has been through more than most of us can even imagine—dropping to just 40 pounds at one point, losing his strength, spending months in hospitals and rehab.
And still… he smiles.
He jokes.
He sings.
He tries.
Every dollar raised is going directly toward giving Rogan and his family a new, safe, mold free home with air conditioning, and no more holes in the roof.
