James and I have been friends since childhood, growing up side by side and sharing countless memories. Now, James is facing one of the toughest challenges of his life. After discovering a lump in his back, he was diagnosed with Sarcoma cancer. The lump was surgically removed, but James now faces six weeks of intensive radiation treatments—five sessions each week. During this time, he will be unable to work, and the strain on his family is immense.

James and his wife, Tetzee, are the heart of their family and a beacon of hope in our community. They have dedicated their lives to adopting children of need with one adopted themselves and currently fostering three others. Tetzee, originally from the Philippines, has embraced her new home and now works in our local school system, helping to educate and inspire the next generation. She truly embodies the American dream, showing what is possible through hard work and compassion.

This family has always given so much to others, and now they need our help. The funds raised will go directly toward supporting their living expenses while James undergoes treatment and recovers. Any support you can offer—no matter the amount—will make a meaningful difference. Let’s come together as a loving community and return the kindness and support that James and Tetzee have shown to so many. Thank you for standing with them during this difficult time.
