Hello, my name is Dakota Katcher. I am raising funds to help my dad Brian Katcher with his journey to fight advanced squamous cell carcinoma. My dad has been the most present dad and grandfather I could ever ask for, and I'd love to be able to help him like he has always helped me.

Right now, he is out of work due to a life-saving tracheotomy surgery and while he receives chemotherapy for the foreseeable future. If I could help take the burden off of him and raise money to pay his day-to-day bills so he doesn’t have to worry, he would be so thankful.

We had no time to plan for any of this. He was seen in the emergency room on December 14th, 2025, and was admitted 3 days later for a month-long stay. He has a very long fight ahead of him but we are hopeful that he will get a lot more time being the best dad and an even great Pa to all of our babies that he loves so much.
