Support Dustin Sturm’s Fight Against Cancer

Hi, my name is Adrienne DeStefano, and I’m creating this fundraiser on behalf of my best friend, Kathleen Sturm, and her husband, Dustin.

Recently, Dustin was diagnosed with an aggressive parotid gland tumor — a rare and serious condition that requires immediate and intensive treatment. His surgery is scheduled for April 22nd, and while this is the first critical step, it’s just the beginning of what will be a long and challenging journey of recovery and further care.

Dustin is a devoted husband, a loving father, and a kind, hardworking man who would do anything for his family. He and Kathleen are raising three beautiful children — ages 3, 6, and 9 — and the weight of this diagnosis is heavy for them all.

As you can imagine, this unexpected battle has brought emotional and financial uncertainty. With Dustin unable to work and Kathleen focused on caring for him and their children, any help from friends, family, and kind strangers means the world right now.

All donations will go directly toward:

Medical bills and treatment costs

Travel to and from appointments

Childcare and family support during recovery

Everyday expenses as the family navigates this tough time

If you are able, please consider donating — no amount is too small. And if you can’t give financially, sharing this fundraiser and holding this family in your thoughts and prayers is just as powerful.

Let’s rally around Dustin, Kathleen, and their little ones and show them that they’re not alone in this fight. Thank you for your love and support.

With gratitude,

Adrienne DeStefano
