Help Preston Rise—Because Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Life
Life hasn’t been easy for Preston. Long before cancer, the road was rocky—full of hardships most people never have to face. And now, he’s facing the biggest challenge of all: an aggressive cancer diagnosis that’s changed everything overnight.
Since being diagnosed with High-Grade Urothelial Carcinoma in February, Preston has lost nearly everything—his job, his home, and his car. He’s undergoing EV treatment with the possibility of immunotherapy and chemotherapy next. On top of that, he’s fighting to stay connected to his four sons through an incredibly painful custody battle.
But this isn’t where his story ends.
This is where a new chapter can begin—with the help of people who believe in second chances, healing, and the power of community.
Preston has made it through things that would have crushed most people. And while life has worn him down, it hasn’t taken him out. Underneath the pain is a man who loves deeply, who wants to fight for his children, and who deserves to be reminded that he still matters—and always did.
Your support will go directly toward basic needs like food and shelter, legal fees for custody, and critical cancer treatment.
Even more, it will send a message:
That Preston is not alone.
That his story isn’t over.
That healing is possible—even when you’ve forgotten what that feels like.
And that there is still a path forward, even if you can't yet see it.
If you can’t give, please share. Please pray. Please help us hold the light until Preston can see it again for himself.
