Hi, my name is Katy, and I'm reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for help during one of the most difficult times our family has ever faced.

On May 15, 2025, my husband Allen received a diagnosis that has turned our world upside down: cancer. While we’ve chosen to keep the specifics private, what we do want to share is that this fight is going to require surgery, treatment, and time—time that Allen won’t be able to spend working and providing for our family, as he always has.

Allen is the rock of our family. He’s a hardworking, dedicated father to our two small children and a loving husband who always puts everyone else first. He shows up every day—at work, at home, and in life—with quiet strength, patience, and love. Now, he needs help, and we’re humbly asking for yours.

The financial strain of this unexpected journey is overwhelming. We're raising $7,500 to help cover:

•Allen’s upcoming surgery

•Medical treatment and related expenses

•Bills and essentials while he takes time off work to recover

•Support for our family during this challenging time

Every donation—no matter the amount—will help ease the burden and allow Allen to focus on healing, not bills. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping our family in your prayers.

We are so grateful for your support, kindness, and love. Thank you for standing with us as Allen begins this fight.

With love and gratitude,

Katy McDonald & Family
