We are reaching out on behalf of Noah Collins, his parents Clifford and Paulette Collins, and his twin brothers William and Luke, as they face an incredibly difficult and uncertain time.

Noah is just 20 years old, full of life, and deeply loved by everyone who knows him. Recently, doctors discovered a sacral chordoma, a rare, slow-growing bone cancer around the S4 bone in his sacrum, just below the spine. Thankfully, the tumor is slow-growing and will not metastasize, but it still requires specialized surgery and a long, painful recovery. After consulting with neurosurgeons, Noah will travel to Montreal on November 2 for consultations, a biopsy, and potentially surgery. While we are praying that the surgery can be completed during this first trip, there is a high probability he may need to return, making this an even more challenging journey.

Noah is a loving young man with a heart of gold. He has always been a pillar of strength for his mom and dad, helping Paulette care for his twin brothers even as a young boy. Full of love and kindness, he’s surrounded by people who adore him, including his sweet girlfriend, Taylor Robinson, who has become a cherished part of the family. Noah has dreams of becoming a pilot- a dream he was preparing to pursue this past September before this devastating setback.

The emotional and financial burden on the family is substantial. Clifford and Paulette will need to be away from their jobs for months to support Noah through his treatment and recovery. William and Luke will be cared for by family during this time. On top of multiple trips’ travel, accommodations, and meals, the family must continue to cover normal household bills and expenses. Your support will help ensure Noah has his parents by his side for all his treatments and recovery.

We’re asking our friends, extended family, and community to come together to help ease this burden. Any contribution will go directly toward supporting Noah and his family during this critical time.

Close family and friends are invited to email their donations to Paulette directly but we encourage everyone to share this campaign with your individual circles, organizations, workgroups, and friends.

Your kindness, generosity, and prayers will help Noah face this journey with the love, strength, and support he deserves. One day soon, you’ll see Noah fulfilling his dream of flying planes, and you can take pride knowing you helped him through this setback.

With love & gratitude,

The Collins and Hounsell Families
