In memory of Big Herb, providing love and stability for his babies.

Update from Renee (08/17/2025) 

 It is with the heaviest heart that I share that my beloved fiancé, Bradford “Big Herb” Daniels, passed away yesterday after his courageous battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. From the beginning, this GoFundMe was created to help with his medical expenses and to support our family through this journey. I want to thank each and every one of you who has already given, prayed, or shared—your kindness carried us during the hardest time of our lives. Now that Herb is with Jesus, the funds raised will go toward his final wishes. Herb wanted to be cremated and remembered with a memorial service instead of a traditional funeral. Your generosity will help us honor him in the way he wanted and give our family the chance to say goodbye with love and dignity. In addition, as I now face raising our three beautiful babies without him, any continued support will go directly toward helping me provide for them and keep our family steady in the difficult days ahead. If you feel moved to give, to share, or to simply keep us in your prayers, please know how deeply grateful we are. Herb was loved by so many, and I want his memory to live on through the love and support surrounding his family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Renee

My name is Renee, and my boyfriend Bradford “Big Herb” Daniels was diagnosed just one month ago with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He’s the love of my life and the father of our three young children — a 21-month-old daughter and 8-month-old boy/girl twins.

He can no longer work, and while we wait for Social Security Disability to be approved, we have no income for rent, electricity, diapers, or even the insurance premiums that cover his life-saving appointments. We are already past due on August rent, and time is running out.

Please help us keep our home and get him the medical care he needs during this fight. Any amount — no matter how small — will help us make it through the next few months.

Our Story

Just a month ago, our lives changed forever. Bradford — a hardworking man, loving partner, and devoted father — was given the devastating news that he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer with a poor prognosis. Since then, our days have been filled with doctor visits, medical tests, and trying to hold our family together for our babies.

I have always been a stay-at-home mom, caring for our three little ones full-time. Bradford was our provider, but now he is too sick to work, and we are in a financial free fall. While we are doing everything we can to get his disability approved, that process can take months — and we don’t have months to wait.

Our monthly expenses include:

• $1,150 — Rent

• $350 — Electricity

• $330 — Car payment

• $250 — Health insurance premiums

• Gas, phone bills, diapers, wipes, and baby essentials

• Copays and medical costs not covered by insurance

We are hoping to raise $20,000 to cover 4–6 months of living and medical expenses until disability benefits begin. This will allow us to:

✅ Keep a safe home for our children

✅ Pay utilities and transportation costs for medical appointments

✅ Maintain his health insurance and cover copays

✅ Afford diapers, wipes, and other essentials for our babies

Without help, we will lose our home and Bradford may not be able to continue the treatments and appointments he needs.
