Help Jace Gallegos and Family Through a Medical Crisis

Our sweet 9-year-old nephew, Jace Gallegos, was rushed to the ER last week with severe stomach pain, and the Gallegos family's world was turned upside down. Doctors diagnosed him with pancreatitis—a rare condition in children, affecting only 1 in 10,000 kids. There’s no cure, no easy fix—just pain management, rest, and a long road to recovery.

Jace spent several days in the hospital, but the good news is that he's responding well to treatment, with his lab numbers improving. He’s now home, but the journey isn’t over. In the coming weeks, he’ll face another surgery, multiple doctor visits, and major changes to his lifestyle and diet.

His parents, Tristan and Steve, are doing everything they can, but the unexpected medical expenses and time away from work have left them in a tough spot. Tristan, a stay-at-home mom, picks up extra income by cleaning houses a few times a week. With Steve needing to take time off work to care for Jace and their two other children—Jeter and Braelyn—the financial stress is hitting hard, especially with the holidays around the corner.

Anyone who knows this family knows they are the kindest, most selfless people you’ll meet—always the first to help others when they’re in need. Now, it’s our turn to help them.

We’re raising funds to help cover medical bills, upcoming appointments, missed workdays, and anything else they need to make it through this challenging time without financial worry. Every donation—big or small—makes a difference. If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign with others is just as valuable.

Let’s come together and show the Gallegos family they’re not alone. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean the world to them and will help ease their burden as they focus on what matters most—Jace’s health and healing.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
