2/6/25 I promised myself that in 2025 I would no longer protect anyone else's story. With that in mind, I must confess that we now find ourselves having to start over almost completely now as Zayden's belongings and inheritance are being held hostage by his grandmother. We are doing our best to move forward with what we have and to focus on the things we do have instead of the things we are uncertain of their fate. Things like baby clothes, toys, keepsakes, we know that they can all be replaced, but we do hope that they are all safe and find there way back into our lives eventually. For now, Zayden and I will be focusing on starting a routine and getting him into school so that he can go into First grade come Fall. The future is still uncertain as we no longer are bound by any agreements to live anywhere, so we will be deciding where we move over the coming months and within a year making a move. We truly appreciate each and every message, every show of support, and every donation. We would not have been able to get through this without each one of you. In time, I am hoping to get back to where we know we can be again. Until then, we can't thank you enough for your support.

1/12/25 We unfortunately saw things progress much much Much quicker than we had ever expected and lost our angel Caitlyn on Sunday early morning. She passed surrounded by her son, mother and myself (Lucas). 

Original post posted Christmas day: 2024.

Dear Friends, Family, Internet Besties, and Kind Strangers we have yet to meet and thank, thank you for taking the time to read my family's current BATTLE and our plan to beat this with your help.

We are putting a very private part of our life for the last 4 years 'out there' publicly into the social media universe and reaching out during a very uniquely challenging time for Caitlyn (mother, mid 30s), Zayden (son, 5), and myself, Lucas.

Caitlyn, the loving mother of my son, is at the end of bravely battling stage 4/terminal Hodgkin lymphoma metastatic cancer with pneumonia on top.

A massive tumor continues to grow in her chest and between that and the pneumonia she has already lost usage of one lung and the tumor is pressing up against the other one, her heart, and her spine.

This month, we got the dreaded news; the doctors told us there was 'nothing else they could do' but to help her prepare to die.

She recently (Nov '24) went through another set of surgeries and is fighting daily to regain her strength to be able to walk again and to spend more quality time with our son.

As she focuses on her health and well-being, the weight of almost 4 years of mounting medical bills, travel to and from treatments, and all the strains that come with it are becoming simply too overwhelming for our family to handle ourselves while also making ends meet.

One, two, maybe three years was manageable, but we have exhausted all avenues and while I try my best to make more money than seems possible, we humbly ask for your help in our time of need.

We are starting this GoFundMe calling in a Christmas miracle to rally support for Caitlyn’s medical expenses. Your contributions will help alleviate some of the overbearing financial strain, allowing her to focus entirely on her healing and recovery.

We also would like to try a few newer options as last resorts that unfortunately are not covered by insurance. Everything that works the best seems to be just out of our reach. I will be publicly sharing the results of our alternative treatments which include everything from frequency therapy, to body toxin cleanses, to special diets, to RSO, to you name it. I am blessed to have been around this field for over a decade, and now it is time to put my playa name of Dr. Strange to the test. I refuse to accept the medical consensus. "Do you consent?" No, NO we do NOT.

Truly, every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to easing this burden and beating the odds.

We appreciate your positive support, prayers, interactions, and shares.

When we come together as one, we can make a difference.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ❤️❤️❤️
