Support Drew's Fight Against Leukemia

Donation protected
Meet Drew, a vibrant 27-year-old from Burnsville who embodies the spirit of resilience and compassion. As the youngest of four siblings, he has always found himself in the midst of a bustling family life, enriched by the laughter and energy of his five nephews. Drew's passion for anime shines brightly in his life; he eagerly anticipates every Anime Con, where he can immerse himself in the world he loves, surrounded by fellow enthusiasts. His cherished companion, a loyal dog named Monty, brings him joy and comfort, standing by his side through both the highs and lows.

For over two years, Drew has taken on the role of kitchen lead at The Better Half, where his coworkers appreciate his remarkable humor and reliability. Those who know him well often describe him as annoyingly punctual, but they also recognize this trait as part of what makes him such an incredible team player. His kind nature and willingness to lend a hand to others have made him a beloved figure among friends and family alike. He’s also quite the goofball but in the most endearing quiet way.

However, life has recently thrown Drew a series of challenging curveballs. He has been diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML), a condition that presents its own set of trials and tribulations. This diagnosis comes at a particularly difficult juncture, as his father has also received a diagnosis of Huntington's Disease this fall. As a primary caregiver for his father, Drew has taken on the immense responsibility of managing his father's care while also assisting his parents with living expenses. This dual burden is heavy, and now, with his own health challenges, we want to ensure that Drew can focus on his recovery without the overwhelming weight of financial stress.

In light of these circumstances, we kindly ask for your support through donations to help alleviate some of the financial strain on Drew and his family during this profoundly difficult time. Your generosity can make a significant difference, allowing Drew to dedicate his energy towards healing and supporting his loved ones. Together, we can help this remarkable individual navigate the challenges life has presented him. Thank you for considering extending your support to Drew and his family.
