I am a military veteran, a husband, and a father to seven wonderful kids. Recently, I was diagnosed with head and neck cancer—a diagnosis that turned our world upside down. When I informed my employer that I needed time off for treatment, I was laid off. This has left my family and me facing not only the challenges of cancer, but also the uncertainty of how we’ll make ends meet while I focus on healing and searching for a new job.

Throughout my life, I’ve worked hard for everything I have and have always tried to bring positivity to those around me. Asking for help is not easy for me, but these circumstances have made it impossible to support my family on my own. The funds raised here will go directly toward paying our monthly bills, covering medical copays, and helping with daily expenses so that my wife and children can have some stability during this difficult time.

I am deeply grateful for any support you can offer. I hope that the kindness I’ve shared with others will come back to my family in our time of need. Anything helps, and your generosity means more than words can express. Thank you so much for standing with us.
