Help Tyler, Firefighter & Cancer Survivor

Meet Tyler — a devoted firefighter, an avid runner, a melanoma survivor, a paramedic student, and a truly kind and hardworking soul.

Ty grew up in a small town, Garden Plain, KS and currently resides in Kansas City, MO

Tyler has always been the first to help others — whether charging into danger to save lives or showing up for friends and family without hesitation. Now, he’s facing a personal battle, and it’s our turn to help him.

After a year of intense treatment for melanoma, Tyler recently received news of a spot on his lung. A biopsy was performed, and thankfully, the mass is benign — a huge relief. But the journey is far from over.

Between the ongoing medical bills, future scans, and likely preventive surgeries, the costs are adding up fast. Despite working full time as a firefighter, the financial burden is becoming overwhelming.

Tyler never asks for help — We don't want him to do it alone.

Your donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the financial pressure so he can focus on his health and continuing to serve others with the heart and strength he’s known for. Your donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward:

Out-of-pocket medical bills

Post-surgical care and ongoing scans

Recovery support and related costs

Thank you for supporting a man who has given so much to his community. Let’s stand behind Tyler like he’s stood behind so many of us.

If you can donate, we are deeply grateful. If not, send some love Tyler's way. Also, a simple share of this page goes a long way.

With gratitude,

Tyler's family
