Help Support Our Father’s Fight Against Stage 4 Kidney Cancer

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

Our beloved father is facing the fight of his life.

Two years ago, he was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma, a diagnosis that turned our world upside down. He underwent a nephrectomy (removal of a kidney) and, with strength and resilience, fought his way into remission. We were overjoyed and hopeful, thinking the worst was behind us.

But this month, our hope was shattered.

Our dad has been diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic papillary renal cell carcinoma type 2—a rare and aggressive form of kidney cancer that has now spread to multiple organs. This news has devastated our family, and we are now preparing for a difficult road ahead that will involve intense treatment and emotional, physical, and financial hardship.

Our father is the sole provider for our family. He has always worked tirelessly, without complaint, to ensure we are cared for and supported. He is the kind of man who shows up—whether it’s for work, for family, for friends, or even for strangers. He is selfless, humble, and one of the hardest-working people you’ll ever meet.

As he now begins this next fight—a fight for his life—he is expected to be out of work for an extended period of time due to the severity of his illness and the demands of treatment. This puts an enormous strain on our family as we try to cover medical bills, daily living expenses, and provide him with the care and comfort he needs and deserves.

We are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, for your help.

Your donation—no matter how big or small—will go directly toward:

• Medical expenses and treatment costs not covered by insurance

• Travel expenses to and from appointments and treatment centers

• Monthly living expenses for our family during his time off work

• Any additional support to help make this journey a little easier on him and our family

If you’re unable to donate, please share this page with your friends, your network, or just keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Every bit of support means the world to us.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for standing with our dad in his time of need. We are endlessly grateful.

With love and hope,

The Jess Family.
