Dear family and friends,

I reach out to you as a heartbroken husband and father who is overwhelmed. One doing everything he can to hold his family together in the midst of unimaginable pain and tragedy.

My wife, my heart, and mother of our five boys has been diagnosed with a glioblastoma. She’s in treatment and unable to work. I’ve had to step back from work to care for her full-time.

A gentle spirit who brightens every room she walks into is now fighting the toughest battle of her life.

But our family is facing more than just this devastating diagnosis.

Weeks ago we lost our son. There are no words for the events leading to his homicide, only an aching emptiness that doesn’t go away. To add to our grief and pain, our other son has a long recovery of injuries from the same events. One tragedy has piled on top of another and it feels like we can barely catch our breath.

Oh and our family van was stolen.

In the midst of our grief, we’re struggling financially.

Neither my beloved, myself, or our sons have been able to work. The everyday cost of living - - mortgage, food, medical bills, the unexpected burial cost – feels impossible to manage.

We’re humbly asking for your help. Any amount, no matter how small would help us get through this.

Your donations would go directly to my family’s care and basic needs to keep us afloat until we can get back to work.

Thank you for your help and circulating this link amongst your connections.

Thank you
