Support for My Sister and Her Family as They Care for David

I’m sharing this on behalf of my sister and her family as my heart breaks for them. My sister is one of the kindest, warmest, most giving people I have ever known. She has spent her whole life putting everyone else first, and she would never ask for help herself. She and her family are going through something unimaginable right now, and I would do anything to help take some of the weight off her shoulders.

My sister’s husband, David, is in hospice at only 61.

About two years ago, everything began to change when David suffered a small stroke, followed by a series of transient ischemic attacks. This eventually led to his diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. The cancer spread to his spine, causing excruciating pain and spasms, and sadly, it did not respond to treatment the way everyone had hoped. In just about two years, this terrible disease has taken David from being the strong, loving center of his family to being in the final stages of hospice.

My sister, who has always poured herself into her career, stepped away so she could take care of David and be there for their family.

David has always been the love of her life. They celebrated their 24th wedding anniversary on September 15th. He worked hard his whole career to provide for his family, and he was also the family’s glue, the one who kept everything clean, tidy, and running smoothly. Whenever life got hard, David was the one who showed up for my sister and their sons, Drew and Reece. He has been the rock of this family.

Their family is incredibly close, and nothing means more to them than time together. Their favorite thing is movie night with pizza, or burritos, or really any food, as long as they’re all together. Those simple evenings are what they treasure most.

Between work and raising their boys, David and my sister rarely had time for themselves. They talked for years about the trips they’d take and the life they’d enjoy once the boys were older and things slowed down. Sadly, life had different plans.

It’s so easy to take family for granted until something like this happens. My sister is facing the unimaginable loss of the love of her life, while also worrying about overwhelming medical bills, funeral expenses, and how she will continue to support their family after losing David’s income.

She is doing everything she can to keep their home, support their sons, and hold their family together through this devastating time.

The funds raised will help with medical bills, housing, utilities, food, funeral expenses, and other essential household costs as they navigate the months ahead.

Any gift will take some of that stress off my sister and let Lisa, Drew, and Reece focus on what matters most right now: being together and making the most of the time they have with David.

If you aren't able to donate, sharing this page, sending them a kind word, or keeping their family in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.

Thank you for loving and supporting our family during this incredibly difficult time.
