My cousin Dusty is someone who has spent his life showing up for others. He is a talented artist, a teacher, father, husband, and friend who needs our help

As a school superintendent, he leads with heart—supporting students, guiding educators, and making a lasting impact in his community. His wife, a dedicated teacher, shares that same passion for helping others. Together, they have built a life centered around their children, as well as shaping young lives, and strengthening the community they care so deeply about.

Now, Dusty and his family are facing an unexpected and difficult challenge.

He has been diagnosed with a rare cancer called esthesioneuroblastoma and is currently receiving care at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

While we are grateful that Dusty is in the hands of experienced specialists, this journey comes with significant emotional and financial strain. Travel to Minnesota, lodging, medical care, and time away from work all add up quickly for his family.

We are asking for support to help ease that burden so Dusty and his family can focus on what truly matters—his treatment, recovery, and time together.

If you’re not able to donate, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Dusty and his family in your thoughts and prayers means just as much.

Dusty and his wife have spent their lives giving to others. Now it’s our turn to give back to them and leave cancer in the dust!

From our family to yours—thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this time.
