Help Us Support Our Dad, Butch, in His Fight Against ALS & Colon Cancer Our dad, Keith “Butch” Hudson, has always been a man of strength, hard work, and quiet love. He’s the kind of person who shows up — for his family, his friends, and anyone in need. Today, we are asking for help as we continue to show up for him. In August, Dad was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), a devastating and currently incurable disease. Since that diagnosis, his condition has progressed more quickly than we could have imagined. He is now no longer able to speak and will most likely require the use of a power wheelchair as his mobility continues to decline. On New Year’s Eve, our family was hit with another unexpected and overwhelming diagnosis. Despite having a clear colonoscopy just six months earlier, Dad was diagnosed with colon cancer after doctors discovered a grapefruit-sized tumor in his colon. He underwent surgery to remove the cancer. While Dad is incredibly strong, his lungs were not strong enough to fully bounce back after surgery. As a result, he now has a tracheostomy and continues to heal little by little each day following an extended hospital stay. Looking ahead, it appears that Dad will need to spend time in a long-term care facility as part of his recovery and ongoing care. While some of the future details are still uncertain, what is very clear is that the medical bills are mounting quickly. Throughout all of this, his wife, Susan, has not left his side — advocating for him, supporting him, and loving him tirelessly every single day. Our family is doing everything we can to ensure Dad receives the best care possible, with dignity, comfort, and love. If you feel led to support us financially, we would be truly honored and deeply grateful. More than anything, we covet your prayers — for healing, strength, peace, and wisdom as we navigate this difficult season. Our dad is our hero. We will continue to fight for him every day we are blessed to have him with us. Thank you for loving Butch, supporting our family, and walking alongside us on this journey. If you would like to send a card of encouragement, we would absolutely love that. Please mail cards to: Amanda’s office 79 N. Sandusky St. Delaware, Ohio 43015 We will be sure they are delivered to Dad. At this time, Dad is unable to communicate, so we kindly ask for no phone calls. Text messages and cards are welcome and appreciated. With all our hearts, His daughters ❤️
