Help Chris BEAT Metastatic Stage IV Colon Cancer

My fun loving, generous, and kind husband
was diagnosed with metastatic stage IV colon cancer just weeks after we relocated from
California to Texas where we sought new adventures and better financial stability for our growing family. He currently has cancer in his colon, appendix, peritoneal lining, and starting in some lymph nodes. It is very rare for men to have this cancer metastasize too their peritoneal cavity, and it’s very critical. We have 4 beautiful
young children, Jayden, Eli, IslaLou, and
CharlieAnne. Chris has always been a hands on and hugely supportive father to all our children, as well as spending the last 15 years working in the community, doing missions in other countries, and dedicating so much of his love and time for the kids with special needs that he supports daily in his career. 

We had just moved to Texas and had nothing set up yet. Chris had not started working, and therefore when we received the emergent diagnosis out of the blue, he was forced to move back to California where he still had insurance set up to receive immediate treatment. We are working tirelessly on getting things set up to have him transferred to Texas, but currently he is in California for the next 6 months receiving chemo treatments, and will very likely be unable to work in anyway for at least the next year. The kids, who have always been homeschooled, have now started public school and I am working full time to make ends meet. Charlie is in full time day care at the preschool where i teach. The diagnosis is very bleak and therefore the oncologist has given us his support and encouragement to try any alternative method we can find once Chris is through with chemo. There are so many treatments out there that give us hope for a long and blessed future with Chris by our side, but they are not covered by insurance and so we must come up with the finances ourselves. With Chris unable to work at all this feels like such a huge task. So we very humbly ask for your support to give if you can. But most importantly to pray with us, and to share this page to anyone and everyone. 

It’s a humbling experience to ask for help in this way and even more truly humbling to see so many of our friends and family give what we know they’ve worked so hard for. Your financial contributions, prayers and sharing this page have gotten us through this time that has been the hardest and most world shattering of our lives. Thank you so incredibly much from the bottom of our hearts. 

Thank you and God Bless!
