I am Colleen Waugh, I started this page for my brother in-law, Mario Waugh. May our community, with Gods help, support him as he faces this difficult change. Please see Mario's story below, in his own words.

My name is Mario Waugh, and I am a husband, father of two, and co-provider for our household. Just last week, our world shifted when I was unexpectedly diagnosed with B-Cell Lymphoma. Things moved quickly, and I have already begun treatment.

My care team is located in Columbus, while we live in Dayton. This means that multiple times per week, I will need to travel back and forth for treatment. We are doing everything we can to manage this sudden change, but it has created a financial strain we cannot carry alone.

My wife and I run our own business together, which means when I am unable to work, she is affected too. We also co-homeschool our children, and this sudden diagnosis has impacted every part of our daily life — work, parenting, school, and emotional rhythm.

We are a family of faith and prayer. We believe Jesus is working a miracle in my body, and we are standing in agreement for complete remission. We are leaning on God’s strength, peace, and provision every single day.

We don’t take lightly the act of asking for help. This is a moment where we are learning to receive with humility and gratitude, trusting that we are not alone in this journey. In this season, we are learning what it means to allow our community to hold us up — just as we trust God to guide and strengthen us.

How Support Will Help

• Travel expenses for treatment trips to Columbus

• Medical bills and treatment-related costs

• Income gap due to reduced work during treatment

• Maintaining stability for our children during this transition

Your prayers, your shares, and any financial support mean more than we can express. Every gesture helps lighten the load — and reminds us we are not walking through this alone.

Thank you for standing with us, believing with us, and lifting our family up.

With love,

Mario & The Waugh Family
