✨ Update: Great news—insurance is finally approved, which is such a relief, but this journey is far from over. Every day is painful, and the road ahead will be long. Even with insurance, the copays, supplies, and everyday bills are piling up. His post-surgical recovery is going to be a long one…with weekly home health visits for wound care (when we can get them to show up), and family doing it when home health can’t. Your support—whether through donations, sharing, or kind words—truly keeps him going. Please consider helping if you can, and spread the word to others who might want to stand with Shaun in this fight. Every bit makes a real difference.

Hi, I’m Stefan—Shaun’s brother-in-law. Two weeks ago, Shaun was rushed into the hospital and diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Since then, he’s undergone multiple procedures—including placement of a colostomy bag and a port for upcoming chemotherapy—and battled persistent infections. Soon he’ll transition to home care for wound management, port upkeep, infection control, and the upcoming chemo treatments. Through it all, Shaun’s only focus is on healing—while the bills and everyday costs keep mounting.
