Our brother Jeff is facing the toughest fight of his life — a battle with Stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer.

For years, Jeff has stood shoulder to shoulder with working men and women, proudly serving the membership with integrity, strength, and dedication. He served three years as a Day Dispatcher, worked as a Day/Night Flex Dispatcher, stepped up as a Night Business Agent with Local 13, and currently serves as a Clerk with Local 63. In every role, Jeff has answered the call — advocating for members, protecting jobs, and putting others before himself.

Now, he needs us.

Stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancer is an aggressive and devastating diagnosis. The treatments are intense and exhausting — physically, emotionally, and financially. While insurance covers a portion of his care, there are significant out-of-pocket expenses it does not cover. Jeff is facing mounting medical bills, travel costs for treatment, medications, medical supplies, and a substantial loss of income. The financial strain should not be another burden he has to carry while fighting for his life.

This is our opportunity to stand up for someone who has always stood up for us.

If you’ve ever shaken his hand, worked alongside him, or benefited from his dedication to the membership, please consider donating. No amount is too small. Every contribution helps ease the stress and allows Jeff to focus on what matters most — his health, his time with loved ones, and his fight ahead.
