Help John and Cheryl Katzeek Through This Fight!

John and Cheryl Katzeek have been in Anchorage for 22 days, facing some hard realities and holding onto hope. John is being evaluated for life-saving surgery at UCLA, but the road ahead comes with heavy costs.

If approved, they’ll need to relocate to Los Angeles, where housing and care could cost $7,000–$10,000 a month, on top of uncovered medical expenses. Medicare covers 80%, but the remaining costs could reach over $100,000 while they wait for John’s chance at surgery.

Even with these challenges, John’s spirit remains strong. He’s walking farther every day, staying positive, and talking about what he’ll do when he gets back home to Haines.

Your support will help cover housing, medical, and living expenses so John and Cheryl can focus on healing and hope. Every donation, prayer, and share means the world to them.
