Help Charlotte fight AML and Support Our Children’s Future

My wife, Charlotte, is the heart of our family—a devoted mother, a loving partner, and a woman of incredible strength. Over the past three years, she has faced one medical battle after another with courage and grace.

In May 2022, she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. After months of treatment, we celebrated remission in January 2023. Sadly, the cancer returned in August 2023, leading to another round of treatment and a stem cell transplant in May 2024. We were blessed with remission again—until November 21, 2025, when she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).

This new diagnosis means more intensive treatment, and it may force her into disability or early retirement. I may also need to take family medical leave to care for her, which would significantly reduce our household income. After years of medical expenses, we are now facing the most difficult financial and emotional challenge yet.

Why We’re Asking for Help

We are raising funds to:
  • Cover the costs of AML treatment, hospital stays, and medications.
  • Support our household during reduced income while I care for my wife.
  • Ensure our children can continue pursuing their dreams; our daughter, who aspires to attend medical school and son, who would like to pursue dentistry in the future.

Your generosity will not only help us fight this disease but also give our children the chance to achieve the futures they’ve worked so hard toward.

How You Can Help

Every donation—large or small—makes a difference. Your support will:
  • Provide immediate relief for medical and living expenses.
  • Give our children the stability to continue their education.
  • Offer hope and strength to our family during this fight.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others. Spreading the word is just as powerful.

We are deeply grateful for your kindness, prayers, and support. Together, we can give Charlotte the strength to keep battling AML and give our children the future they deserve.

Thank you for standing with us.
