Dear Friends and Supporters,

I’m reaching out with a heavy yet hopeful heart to ask for your support as our family walks through one of the most difficult chapters of our lives.

Our daughter, Naomi, is a bright, strong, and resilient 14-year-old who has recently been diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of bone cancer. She is currently undergoing intensive treatment at Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, a facility providing excellent care, but one that is far from home and presents significant logistical and financial challenges for our family.

As you can imagine, this journey has turned our world upside down. Naomi’s mother, Erin, and her stepfather, Jerrod, make the one-hour trip each way almost daily to be by her side. Meanwhile, her brother, Mateo, and I are traveling from North Carolina to support her throughout treatment. Coordinating travel, lodging, and time off work is both emotionally and financially overwhelming.

We are humbly asking for your help with donations to cover travel and lodging expenses so we can focus fully on what matters most; being present for Naomi as she faces this battle with courage and determination.

Any contribution, no matter the size, would mean the world to us. If you are unable to give financially, please consider sharing Naomi’s story with others who may be able to help, or simply keep her in your prayers and thoughts.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness, your prayers, and your support. With your help, we can ensure Naomi is surrounded by love and strength every step of the way.

Any contributions not used will be donated to CureSearch for Children’s Cancer in Naomi’s name: https://give.curesearch.org/fundraiser/6684501.

** To our Military Friends**

The Air Force may have brought us together, but it’s the heart and compassion behind the uniform that we’ll never forget. In a time when everything feels uncertain, your support has been a steady source of comfort and strength. Thank you!

With deep gratitude,

David

(on behalf of Naomi, Erin, Jerrod, Mateo, and our families)
