We are reaching out with broken hearts to ask for help for Joel Clark, Caryl, and their family during this incredibly difficult time. Joel has been diagnosed with advanced gallbladder cancer, and everything has happened so fast. Our family is now facing the heartbreaking reality that there is not much hope, and we are trying to cherish every moment we have left with him.

Joel and Caryl share a love story that is truly one of a kind. They got engaged on their very first date and have been together ever since. Through the years, they built a beautiful life together centered on love, faithfulness, family, and devotion. That love has touched not only each other, but also their children and grandchildren, who love Joel deeply and are heartbroken as they walk through this painful time.

Right now, the family is carrying not only the emotional weight of saying goodbye, but also the financial burden of medical expenses and the funeral costs that are ahead. We are starting this fundraiser in hopes of easing some of that stress, so Caryl, the kids, and the grandkids can focus on what matters most — loving Joel, being together, and honoring his life. Joel is deeply loved by his family and will be cherished always for the love, strength, and steady presence he brought to their lives.

Any donation, no matter the amount, will be deeply appreciated. And if you are not able to give, sharing this fundraiser and keeping Joel, Caryl, their children, and grandchildren in your thoughts and prayers would mean so much to our family. Thank you for helping us carry this family through one of the hardest seasons of their lives.
