I'm here to share the story of my brave and wonderful cousin...
As many of you know, Carter was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018. At that time, he underwent treatment and fought hard, determined to live life to its fullest — and he did just that, embracing every moment.
But last year, Carter received the devastating news that his tumor had returned. In May, just four weeks after the birth of his beautiful daughter, Olivia, he underwent a second brain surgery. Sadly, complications after the surgery and tumor progression have left him facing an even more difficult battle. Carter has been fighting tirelessly, but as the tumor continues to grow, his health is declining and treatment options are running out.
Today, Carter’s family is turning to all of you — their friends, loved ones, and community — for support during this incredibly challenging time. Carter has always been a fighter, but now, more than ever, he needs the love, strength, and prayers of those who care about him.
Many of you have asked how you can help, and we are deeply grateful for every prayer and gesture of support. For those who would like to do more, this GoFundMe will go directly to Carter and his wife Ashley, helping them manage mounting medical expenses and provide for their two young children, Jax (3) and Olivia (1), as they navigate this overwhelming journey.
Please continue to keep Carter and his family in your prayers. This is a time to hold our loved ones close and cherish every moment with them. We also encourage everyone to consider securing life insurance at an early age, as you never know what the future may hold.
Thank you for your love, your kindness, and your continued support.
