Tyler and his wife are devoted, longtime educators who have poured their hearts into teaching and supporting children and families in Texas and Missouri throughout their careers.

Over the Christmas school break, a routine blood test for Tyler led to a diagnosis no one was expecting: multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that normally affects people over sixty years old. What was supposed to be a standard checkup quickly turned into a cascade of appointments, tests, and urgent decisions over break. This is a cancer that requires immediate treatment.

Multiple myeloma can require years of treatment. Acting quickly gives Tyler the best chance at remission, and his medical team is moving fast. While he has insurance, many of the necessary tests, specialist visits, and treatments come with high out-of-pocket costs and limited coverage.

At the same time, Tyler and his wife are losing income as they step away from work for treatment, appointments, and recovery. Everyday costs continue, including food, gas for frequent medical travel, and anything else during long days of appointments.

This fund is to help cover medical expenses insurance does not fully pay for, lost wages, and the added costs that come with long-term cancer treatment.

Any support helps. Sharing this page helps. Thank you for standing with Tyler and his family as they focus on treatment and healing.
