This is a fundraising effort for our beloved Bradley Rouse, recently diagnosed with Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. We are asking for your assistance to help support his journey. Thank you in advance for taking a moment to read our story.

During Thanksgiving, Bradley was emitted to the ER for severe stomach pain. The medical professionals were set on removing his gallbladder after they discovered gallstones. After further testing, luckily and unfortunately, they found a mass on his pancreas. Through a series of tests, scans, and a biopsy, we have discovered that Bradley has an aggressive form of Pancreatic Cancer.

Though we are at the beginning of this journey, we are moving quickly in hopes of the best possible outcome. Through education, curiosity, self contemplation, and seeking professional advisement, Bradley has decided he wants to do a combination of treatments. To kick this cancer at every angle possible he starts Chemotherapy immediately and is also partaking in a slew of holistic remedies.

This is an incredibly unsure time for us all, of course. And yes, financially it can be debilitation as well, especially as a Chef. This time of year is critical for income. Bradley typically works nonstop throughout November until February, making most of his income for the year at this time. Last year was the first time in 30 years that he took time off for the birth of our son Bliss, who turns one on December 21st.

Care and attention to the matter at hand is critical right now. Relieving some of the financial strain will be helpful in focusing as much on the healing process as possible. We will be using your contributions towards already accruing medical bills, general living expenses, and holistic healthcare treatments. Here is a list of treatments and practicalities if you would like to contribute to something in particular.
