Our hearts are heavy as we share that Parris has recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer. This news has turned his world upside down and those of us who love him are rallying around him to help him through what will be the biggest fight of his life.

If you know Parris, you know his heart. He is the kind of person who never hesitates to lend a hand, crack a light hearted joke, or show up when someone needs it the most. Parris has shown up for countless others - whether its helping a neighbor, supporting friends, or caring for his family. He is a son, brother, uncle, and friend and an all around good-hearted individual who always puts others before himself.

Now, he needs us to show up for him.

Between the endless doctor visits, treatments, and the toll this takes physically and emotionally, the financial burden has become overwhelming. Every donation - no matter how big or small - will help cover medical bills, travel costs, and everyday expenses so that Parris is able to focus on what the matters most - healing and regaining his strength.

We know times are tough for everyone, but if you are able to give, please do. And if you cannot - your prayers, kind words, and sharing of this page will mean just as much.

Let’s surround Parris with love, hope and support as he takes on this fight with courage and determination. Together, and as a community we can help lift some of the burden he faces.

These funds will go directly toward:

Medical treatments and visits

Prescription medications

Travel expenses for countless appointments

The cost of everyday living while he focuses on healing

Thank you for taking the time to read about our dear friend Parris, and for your continued kindness and support. Together, we can bring light to his darkest days.
