Many folks have been very fortunate to know Wally Porter, a devoted father of five, a caring partner, an irreplaceable neighbor, and a skilled home caretaker whose kindness has touched so many lives. We are now rallying to support him and his family as he bravely faces a devastating cancer diagnosis.

Wally has always been there for us. He’s the person you call when you need help, a friend with a ready smile, and the backbone that holds both family and community together. For years, he’s dedicated himself to caring for others’ homes and families, showing up with a hard-working spirit and an open heart.

As you know, Wally received the news no one ever wants to hear; an aggressive cancer that despite every possible effort, cannot be cured. He has fought bravely with strength, hope and unwavering love for his family.

At this difficult moment, as his family faces mounting challenges, we have the opportunity to honor Wally and support his family by assisting with medical costs not covered by insurance, loss of income, and everyday household expenses. Donated funds will also help provide stability for his children, by eliminating the immediate fear of financial insecurity.

Every donation, no matter the size goes directly to Wally’s family to help with:

• Medical costs

• Living expenses (housing, utilities, groceries)

• Support for the children’s future needs

If Wally has ever helped you, made you smile or inspired your faith in kindness, this is a chance to give back. Your generosity – even simply sharing this fundraiser with others – means the world to his family in this deeply difficult time.

Please keep Wally and his family in your thoughts and prayers. Together, let’s embrace his loved ones and honor his life, lighten his loved ones’ burdens, and help ensure his legacy of warmth, dedication and friendship lives on in our community.
