Help Dan Fight Back: Brain Tumor Recovery Fund




Our Story

My brother Dan recently underwent major brain surgery at Barrows St Joseph's Hospital to remove a large brain tumor. A skilled team of neurosurgeons and specialists worked tirelessly to give Dan the best possible chance at recovery, but the journey ahead is long and challenging.

Dan is currently still unconscious as his body begins the healing process. When he wakes up, doctors expect he'll need at least 6 months of intensive recovery, including:
  • Extended hospital stays
  • Specialized medical facility care
  • At least 2 weeks in a rigorous physical therapy facility
  • Ongoing rehabilitation to regain normal mobility

Why We Need Your Help

During this critical recovery period, Dan will be unable to work, yet medical bills continue to mount. Even with insurance, the costs for specialized care, extended facility stays, and rehabilitation therapy create an overwhelming financial burden.

We're not just asking for help with medical bills – we're asking for help giving Dan the peace of mind to focus entirely on his recovery without the crushing worry of financial strife.

How Your Donation Will Help

Every dollar donated will go directly toward:
  • Medical bills and hospital expenses
  • Physical therapy and rehabilitation costs
  • Living expenses during Dan's recovery period
  • Specialized equipment and prescriptions Dan may need

Goal: $100,000

This amount will cover the estimated costs for Dan's 6-month recovery journey and help bridge the gap while he's unable to earn an income.

Dan's Impact

Dan is the kind of person who squeezes every drop of joy out of life. An avid outdoorsman and adventurer, you'll rarely find him sitting still on a weekend. Whether he's kayaking down a river, setting up camp under the stars, or planning his next travel adventure, Dan lives with an infectious enthusiasm that draws people to him.

He's the friend who always says "yes" to an adventure and the brother who makes every gathering more fun. Dan has this incredible gift for connecting with people – from longtime friends to strangers he meets on the trail. His generous spirit and love for helping others has touched countless lives throughout our community.

This fight is about more than medical recovery – it's about getting Dan back to the rivers he loves, the trails that call to him, and most importantly, back to the friends and family who mean everything to him.

Dan has spent his life bringing people together and creating memories. Now it's our turn to come together for him.

Updates

We'll keep everyone posted on Dan's progress through regular updates. Your support means the world to our family during this incredibly difficult time.

Thank You

No donation is too small, and sharing this campaign helps tremendously. We're grateful for any support – whether financial, through prayers, or simply by spreading the word.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping Dan fight his way back to full health.
