Help Scott Fight Ocular Melanoma

Donation protected
Scott, a cherished family friend, has always been the first to lend a hand to those in need. He lives alone and is the proud grandfather of three wonderful grandkids, who mean the world to him. Now, Scott is facing one of the toughest challenges of his life. Recently, he was diagnosed with ocular melanoma, a rare and aggressive form of eye cancer. The news has been overwhelming, not just emotionally but also financially. Without this treatment, the melanoma could spread to his lungs or liver, making time of the essence. Scott’s procedure date is scheduled for 2/5/26, and the urgency to secure the necessary funds is greater than ever. The treatment Scott needs, called plaque radiotherapy, may not be covered by his insurance. In addition to the treatment itself, Scott must pay out of pocket for the creation of the radiation plaque, crucial genetic testing, surgery-related expenses such as anesthesia, and ongoing follow-up care. These expenses are simply too much for Scott to manage alone. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward covering the costs of Scott’s plaque radiotherapy, the creation of the radiation plaque, genetic testing, surgery-related expenses, and follow-up care. By easing this financial burden, we hope to give Scott the chance to focus on what matters most—his health and recovery. Scott has always gone out of his way to help others, and now he needs our help more than ever. Any support—big or small—will make a real difference in Scott’s fight against ocular melanoma. Your generosity will help give him the best chance at recovery and show him that he is not alone in this battle. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, prayers, and support during this challenging time.
