From Michael and Jacob:

We’re asking for your support for our good friend Derek and his family during an incredibly difficult time. Derek is a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran, and his wife is also a U.S. Air Force veteran. They have both served our country with honor, and now they’re facing a battle at home.

Derek’s wife has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, and as many families know, the medical treatments, appointments, and time away from work can quickly create overwhelming financial strain. Right now, Derek is doing everything he can to support his wife and keep things together for their family while navigating doctor visits, treatments, and the uncertainty that comes with such a serious diagnosis.

We created this GoFundMe to help ease some of that burden. Every donation will go directly toward medical expenses, household bills, and daily living costs so Derek can focus on what matters most, being there for his wife during this fight.

Derek has always been the kind of person who shows up for others without hesitation. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

If you’re able to donate, any amount will help and is deeply appreciated. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word. Let’s come together to support two veterans who have given so much and help their family get through this incredibly tough time.

Thank you for your support.
