Aloha Family & Friends,

Chad Dias is a devoted husband, loving father and papa, a caring son and brother, and a hardworking paver who has always put his family and others first. He is the steady heart of our ʻohana, known for his strength, generosity, and selflessness. Today, Chad is facing the fight of his life, and our family is asking for the same love and support he has so freely given to others.

In mid-November 2025, Chad began experiencing stomach pain, fatigue, and eventually yellowing of eyes (jaundice). On November 25, he went to the emergency room, where imaging revealed a mass on his liver. An MRI confirmed the mass, and on November 28, doctors performed an emergency procedure (ERCP) to place two stents and collect a biopsy. Since then, he has had two additional (ERCP) procedures to elevate the pain and discomfort.

On December 2nd, the biopsy confirmed devastating news. Chad was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive cancer of the bile ducts. He and his wife Naomi must now travel to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 4th for emergency surgery to remove the mass.

As Chad prepares for this journey, our ʻohana is coming together to support him so he can focus on healing and recovery. The costs of medical care, travel, and ongoing treatment are overwhelming, and this fundraiser is meant to help ease that burden.

Every donation, share, prayer, and kind word is deeply appreciated.

Mahalo nui loa for keeping Chad and our ʻohana in your hearts.
