Hi everyone! Thank you so much for being here and for loving our family the way you always have. As many of you know, Christian has been bravely fighting testicular cancer, and we are now entering the next big chapter of his healing journey. After completing chemotherapy, Christian will be undergoing major surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York City. This next phase includes travel back and forth to the city, time in the hospital, recovery at home, and follow-up appointments that will take us into the new year.

With all of this ahead of us, Christian will not be able to work for the next few months as he focuses fully on healing. I’ll be balancing caring for him, supporting our kids, and traveling for appointments, which means my ability to work consistently will be impacted too.

This fundraiser is something we never imagined needing...but we also know that community is one of the greatest gifts during hard seasons. Your support will help us cover:

Travel to and from NYC for appointments and surgery

Lodging and meals in the city during hospital stays

Lost income while Christian is unable to work

Childcare and home needs as we juggle treatment, recovery, and family life

Medical expenses not covered by insurance

We are choosing hope every single day. Christian is strong, determined, and surrounded by so much love, and that love helps more than you know. Our kids are being so brave, and we’re doing our best to keep their routines steady, their hearts calm, and their world full of joy through all of this.

If you feel called to donate, share, or simply send us love and prayers, we are grateful for every bit of support. Your kindness lifts us and reminds us that we’re not doing this alone.

Thank you for helping our family breathe a little easier as we walk through this chapter with courage, faith, and hope for brighter days ahead.

With love,

The Calderon Family
