Alex is a dedicated contributor in the KC.

Right now, Alex faces a particularly tough time. In his final year of a PhD program, his financial support is running low and he has many family responsibilities. The stress of searching for a job, and dealing with the internal challenges it entails, is taking a toll on his health. As someone living with ulcerative colitis (UC), the added pressure has made his symptoms worse.

Now, he needs our support. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward helping Alex find and receive the specialized medical care he needs for his UC. With the right treatment and a little help from his community, Alex can manage his health and finish his program strong.

Corinthians 12:25-26:
”…so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.”

By coming together to support Alex, we’re not just helping one person—we’re strengthening our entire community. Any support you can offer will make a meaningful difference in Alex’s life and help him get situated in this time of severe trials.
