Helo all,

I’m starting this fundraiser alongside my sisters to support our dad, Bob, as he begins his battle with B-cell lymphoma.

After nearly three weeks in the hospital, we finally received a diagnosis. While we are grateful that his type of lymphoma is treatable, it’s still a very serious illness, and we know the road ahead will be long and uncertain. Bob is expected to begin chemotherapy soon, and we’re bracing ourselves for what’s next — physically, emotionally, and financially.

Right now, we don’t fully know what the coming weeks and months will bring. There will be ongoing treatment costs, unexpected medical expenses, and more time away from work — not just for our dad, but for us as well, as we care for him and do everything we can to keep him comfortable and supported.

Asking for help is not easy for us — it’s one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do. But we also know we can’t do this alone. If you're able to donate, even the smallest amount will help lift the weight off our shoulders during this incredibly hard time.

Every contribution will go toward:

Travel and hospital expenses

Time missed from work to care for Bob

Day-to-day needs and bills while we navigate this new chapter

Any medical costs not covered by insurance

To those who have already reached out, visited, prayed, or helped in any way — thank you. Your kindness and support have meant more than we can express. If you’re not in a place to give, please consider sharing this campaign and continuing to keep our dad in your thoughts and prayers.

We believe in his strength and in the power of community. Thank you for standing with us and helping us give Bob the best chance at recovery.

With love and gratitude,

Emily, Jessica, & Trish
