Help Eddie and Family Through Cancer Fight

Donation protected
Our hearts are heavy as we share the news that Eddie has been diagnosed with lung cancer that has metastasized in the bones. Eddie is a devoted brother, uncle, son, friend, husband, and father who has always worked hard to provide for his family. He is a dedicated caretaker to his son, who requires extensive support due to his autism diagnosis. As if life wasn't already challenging enough, Eddie is now facing a new obstacle that threatens not only his health but also his family's financial stability.

Eddie's recent job change left him without access to short-term disability benefits, forcing him to take an unpaid leave of absence during this time. The emotional and financial toll on his family is immense, as they struggle to meet basic needs and cover medical expenses. Eddie's unwavering positivity and infectious smile have always lit up any room, but now, more than ever, he needs our support and care.

We are setting up this GoFundMe page in hopes of helping ease the burden on Eddie and his family during this difficult time. Every penny donated will go directly towards covering household bills and medical expenses such as chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatments. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a profound impact on Eddie's quality of life and allow him to focus on his health without the added stress of financial strain.

Eddie is a true fighter, and we know he will face this challenge head-on with the same tenacity and humor that has endeared him to so many. We are grateful for any support you can offer, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of our family's journey.

Love,
Eddie's family
