We are asking for your love, prayers, and financial support for Neil Pinkman—a cherished minister, teacher, coach, friend, husband, father, and grandfather—who is now facing one of the greatest challenges of his life. Neil has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic neuroendocrine cancer, which has spread to both his duodenum and liver. This rare illness has come as a shock to Neil and all who know and love him. Yet even in the face of this diagnosis, Neil continues to approach life with the courage, grace, and deep spiritual faith that have always defined him.
For decades, Neil has dedicated his life to helping others heal, grow, and awaken. As a long-time leader, minister, and Spiritual Director at the Center for Spiritual Living North Jersey, he has guided countless individuals toward lives of deeper purpose, compassion, and inner peace. His words, presence, and teachings have been a source of strength for many through times of loss, transition, and transformation.
Neil is also the co-founder, with his wife Michelle, of the Planned Happiness Institute (PHI), an organization devoted to empowering people to live joyfully and authentically. Their work has created a ripple effect of healing and empowerment that continues to touch lives every day.
Now, Neil needs our help. As he begins this difficult journey of cancer treatment—involving chemotherapy, targeted therapies, hospital care, and alternative support approaches—the financial burden is enormous. Insurance covers only a portion of the mounting medical expenses. Out-of-pocket costs for medications, specialist visits, travel, and holistic care are daunting and ongoing.
Your contribution, no matter the amount, will go directly toward easing this financial strain and allowing Neil and his family to focus on healing, presence, and connection. It’s time for the community he has served so faithfully to show up for him—with generosity, gratitude, and love.
Please consider donating and sharing this page with your network. Neil has spent his life holding space for others. Let’s hold space for him now.
