Please help the Selle’s care for our brother

Help Us Bring Our Brother Craig Home & Make His Final Months Full of Love and Joy.

We have recently received heartbreaking news—our sweet brother, uncle, and son, Craig Selle, has been diagnosed with terminal liver disease and has been given just 3 to 6 months to live.

Craig is currently living in Alaska, far from his family and the people who love him most. Time is heartbreakingly short, and our greatest wish is to bring him home so he can spend his final months surrounded by comfort, quality health care, laughter, and the love of his family.

He is now unable to work and has no health insurance. The costs of moving him home, providing daily care, and ensuring he has the dignity and support he deserves are more than we can manage on our own.

Your donation will help us:

Transport Craig and his sweet doggy companion safely from Alaska to be close to his family.

Support us to have a loved one accompany him on the trip from Alaska to help him travel; (an airport is no fun when you’re feeling fine. When you’re ill without help, it would be brutal.)

Assist us with regional travel expenses for family who live out of the area to be able to visit Craig and provide respite for those who will be near Craig daily, so all of us can carry the responsibility together.

Finance a safe and supportive living space for Craig, and the inevitable 24-hour medical care Craig will need in the near future.

Support simple experiences that increase Craig’s quality of life; spending time at the Selle’s favorite camping and fishing place, Garfield Bay on Lake Pend Oreille, with a quick boat trip across the lake to Selle Island. We’d love to take Craig to a Seattle Mariners baseball game.

Prepare for final expenses that will honor him with dignity and respect.

Our wish is to surround him not just with medical care, but with laughter, stories, and the joy of being with his brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews, and even his little grand-nieces and grand-nephews.

Craig has the sweetest, best heart. He is loyal, loving, and kind. His kindness and gentle spirit are known not only to us but to all of his friends, too. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

This is a devastating time for our family, but we know that the generosity and love of our community can make a world of difference. The time ahead is incredibly tender, and we are committed to filling it with as much love and meaning as we can. Every donation, every share, and every message of support means the world to us—and to him.

If you can give $5 or $500—thank you. If you can share this with YOUR community —thank you. And if you can simply send love and prayers—that too means everything. Every gesture of support helps us bring Craig home to surround him with love during this profoundly important time.

Please help us bring our brother home. Help us make his final months filled with love, dignity, and peace.
