My husband, a dedicated mountaineer and search-and-rescue volunteer, has spent years risking his own safety to help find missing hikers in the Cascade Mountains, including leading searches for Sam Sayers and Rachael Lakoduk—whose recovery after years of searching was a testament to his unwavering commitment. Now, as he battles a serious illness, our family is facing overwhelming medical expenses, including the cost of treatments, medications, and ongoing care. As the sole provider for our family of five, including our three children, his inability to work has placed an immense financial strain on us. This fundraiser will help cover medical bills, daily living expenses, and essential needs so we can focus on cherishing the time we have together. Any support, big or small, would mean the world to us in this incredibly difficult time.
