Hello, I'm starting this GoFundMe for my son Jake. For those who know him, you know he is the sweetest person in the world and has the biggest heart. He has recently been diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's lymphoma that is in his lymph nodes in his neck, upper right lung, his spine, and pelvic area. This news has completely turned our world upside down.

He has already had ultrasounds, CT scans, PET scans, and endured biopsies of his lung, bone marrow, and lymph node. So much lab work that it's hard to keep count. He has had three chemo treatments with immune therapy treatment and will have to continue that every other week for 6 months. I am focused on being by his side every step of the way. While I stay strong for him, I do feel like I'm on an emotional roller-coaster.

I've taken a lot of time off work to care for him and work when he is having good days. Any donation, no matter how small, would help with medical bills and prescriptions not covered by insurance, travel expenses to and from the hospital, and getting the nutritional support he needs at this time. We are so grateful for everyone's love and support through this challenging journey.
