Hello everyone,

I am reaching out today to share some unexpected news. September 5th I was diagnosed with gastric cancer. While this has been an incredibly difficult and overwhelming time for myself and my family, I am doing my best to stay positive and keep my heart focused on gratitude.

The physical and emotional toll of this diagnosis is heavy, and the stress it places on my family weighs deeply on my heart. I know the road ahead will be challenging. there will be surgeries, treatments, and a long recovery.

As many of you know, cancer treatment can be costly, and while insurance helps, there are still many expenses that aren't covered. I’ve started this GoFundMe campaign to help ease the financial pressure of these max annual out-of-pocket costs, coinsurance, co-pays and to ease the daily life financial demands, so my family can focus on supporting me through this journey without the added stress of mounting bills.

If you are able and willing to contribute, it would mean the world to us. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. And even if you're unable to donate, your prayers, kind words, and support are just as valuable.

I am so incredibly grateful for the love and support from each and every one of you. This isn’t easy, but knowing that I have such an amazing community surrounding me gives me strength every single day.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for walking alongside us during this time.
