Just a few days after burying my dad, we got the news through a series of scans and appointments--I have stage 4 metastatic melanoma in my lungs. This bombshell has turned our world upside down, and we are doing our best to navigate the challenges ahead. Facing a diagnosis like this is overwhelming, but we are determined to fight and make the most of every moment together while rebuilding a healthy cancer-free body.
We would be so grateful to all who can support us along this journey of beating the odds and extending my time with my family. Your generosity fuels our hope to see this cancer become simply a part of my story and not the end of my story. We also need your prayers as our faith in God is the cornerstone of our hope.
Every gift given will help our family tremendously as we adjust to the added costs of healthcare, medical procedures, drug prescriptions, travel expenses—such as flights, hotels, gas, and meals—for medical purposes and generally any out-of-pocket expense we incur on this healing journey. The financial burden of cancer is immense, and your support will help ease much of that stress so we can focus on my health and spending time together as a family.
Thank you!
