Hi, I’m Steve, and I’m reaching out to ask for your love, support, and generosity for my incredible brother Rod.

Rod is one of the kindest, most determined fathers you’ll ever meet — the type of person who lights up every room, helps others without question, and always puts his young family and friends first. Now, he’s facing the fight of his life.

A few weeks ago, Rod received the devastating news that he has liposarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer located in his abdomen. This diagnosis requires the removal of multiple organs and large mass which has turned his world upside down, but if you know Rod, you know he’s meeting this challenge with courage, grit, and an unwavering spirit.

Rod’s treatment plan is complex and will require specialist care, major surgery, ongoing scans, travel to medical centres, and months of recovery. On top of that, he and his family are navigating the emotional toll of cancer, the cost of time off work, and all the unexpected expenses that come with a battle like this.

This GoFundMe has been created to give Rod the best possible shot at beating this disease — to cover medical bills, specialist consults, travel, living expenses, and rehabilitation costs. Every donation, no matter the size, helps relieve financial stress so Rod can focus all his energy on healing.

Rod has always been the one cheering the loudest for the people he loves. Now it’s our turn to rally for him. Let’s show him that he doesn’t stand alone in this fight.

How You Can Help:

Donate what you can — every dollar makes a difference.

Leave Rod a message of encouragement; your words will mean the world to him.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with Rod and our family during this difficult time. Your generosity and support will carry him through this battle and into recovery.

With love and gratitude,

Steve & Family ❤️
