Help my friend Zack fight Glioblastoma

Donation protected
Hey there! My name is Zack Emerson, and I'm starting this fundraiser on behalf of my dearest friend Zack Sutton and his family.


This October, Zack was hospitalized for a seizure. At the time, the cause was unknown, and after several days, he was finally transferred to UPMC Shadyside, then discharged shortly thereafter. He continued to have multiple symptoms, including numbness throughout his body, which led to an MRI and biopsy, but otherwise continued about his life.


Today, Zack got dealt a terrible card - Grade IV Glioblastoma. Amid this overwhelming challenge, his employer eliminated his position due to "departmental restructuring" and now his health insurance coverage will cease at the end of the month. In the meantime, medical bills have been rising since late October and he is out of work due to this unforeseen and horrible circumstance.


I don't know how to express in so many words how much Zack means to me. Even as a child, I felt deeply grateful to have him as a friend, and there was no doubt in my mind that he was my best friend who would remain so for as long as I lived. He is someone of many talents and laudable qualities, and I count myself eternally fortunate to call someone as genuinely kind-hearted as him, my friend.

I'm asking humbly that you will consider donating anything that you feel capable of sparing. The funds will go to him and his family as they face a rising tide of expenses for something no one could have expected. He has endured a terrible struggle up to this point and faces an uphill battle ahead. I would be forever grateful for your patronage.
