Stand with Mark Vick: Hope and Healing

Friends, family, and members of the community,

Mark Vick is an incredible husband, father, grandpa, and friend who has shown unmatched strength and resilience throughout his life. He is no stranger to life’s toughest battles—after bravely overcoming stomach cancer, he now faces the fight of his life with Stage 4 GI Cancer. With unwavering faith and trust in God for healing, he is undergoing chemotherapy, but the toll this battle takes—emotionally, physically, and financially—is immense. His wife, Sherri, knows this fight all too well, having faced her own battles with cancer multiple times.

Together, Sherri, Mark, and the Vick family have endured countless challenges along Mark’s healing journey. Despite their resilience, the costs of treatment and frequent travel to St. Louis for Mark’s appointments have become overwhelming. This GoFundMe is an opportunity to stand with the Vick family during this critical time. Every dollar raised will go directly to the family and be used towards alleviating the financial strain of Mark’s treatments, travel, and other medical costs, allowing the family to focus on what truly matters: healing and hope.

Your kindness, generosity, and prayers mean the world to Mark, Sherri, and their loved ones as they continue this fight. Thank you for being part of their journey.
