Standing with Our Brother Jeff Linares in His Cancer Battle

Donation protected
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.

If you’re unable to donate, please share this page and keep Jeff in your thoughts and prayers.

“Union Strong” means we take care of our own.

Let’s show Jeff the same loyalty, strength, and solidarity he has shown all of us.

Thank you all for your prayers, generosity, and support.

We are so incredibly grateful for every donation. GOFUNDME deducts transaction and processing fees from each contribution. If you feel comfortable doing so, please consider adding a small extra tip to help cover those fees so that your intended donation reaches us in full. There is absolutely no obligation - your support, prayers, and shares mean the world to us.
