Help Support Steven’s Fight Against Glioblastoma (GBM)

In January 2025, my husband Steven was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) — an aggressive and devastating brain cancer. He’s only 42 years old — a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grandfather.

Steven has already undergone brain surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and high-dose steroids. Despite all of this, a new brain mass was just discovered, and he is now preparing for a second brain surgery next week.

His tumor is unmethylated wild-type, which is more resistant to treatment. He has faced paralysis, vision loss, pain, and profound fatigue — but he continues to fight for the people he loves most.

Why We’re Asking for Help

This journey has completely changed our lives. Steven can no longer work, and as a result, he will soon lose both his health and life insurance, which were provided through his employer. Our oldest daughter has stepped up to care for him full-time, while we try to hold our family together through this crisis.

Your support will help us cover:

• Medical expenses for his second brain surgery

• Caregiving and recovery support at home

• Equipment, medications, and transportation

• Household and childcare costs during this time

• Alternatives once health insurance ends

Every Bit Helps

We’re asking for help because we’ve run out of other options. Whether you’re able to donate, share, or send support — it all matters. Your kindness gives us strength during the hardest time of our lives.

With love and deep gratitude,

Francesca, Steven, Our Children & Grandson
