Hi everyone, we are very saddened to even have to put this together at this time but as many of you know, my dad is going through some very serious health problems.

We have found out he has a tumor in his lung as well as renal cell carcinoma cancer (which he’s has dealt with since 2020), spreading all throughout his lungs and his 1 kidney. He had fluid blocking his lungs causing him to not be able to breathe and have very bad pain for the past few weeks. They’ve been draining the fluid, but he has been told that the fluid will not stop and continue to fill up his lungs from his cancer. They will be doing surgery on Monday 1-5-26 to put in a permanent drainage tube that he will have to live with and drain himself.

Renal cell carcinoma cancer, is a very hard cancer to cure and does not normally have a long survival rate. He has put up a good fight with it and as much as we have joked with him about using it as an excuse occasionally, it is a very serious issue that he’s had to deal with and he has been very humble about it.

As many of you know, he has recently taken a position in the White House, but with these procedures he’s about to go through and the time he has had to take off and it being over the holidays, it’s going to be very hard for him to go back to his current role working Monday through Friday and normally traveling all throughout the week and weekends speaking at different events.

If you know him very well, he’s always been a very giving Man with his time and money, to our family, but also close friends, church family, and even strangers - if someone’s wanted or needed something he would take care of it and he would pay for things without even thinking about it. He’s always been giving to people in need. I’ve seen my Mom and Him get large sums of money multiple times and he’s quickly given all of it to people that he knows needed it and only kept what he needed to take care of their bills. We are asking most importantly for your prayers, but if you felt led to give anything at all we would be greatly appreciative as they are going to have some very large expenses medically, and even though he has good insurance at the moment, it’s not going to cover a majority of it as well as he is going to be out of work for an unknown amount of time, so we would like to raise as much as we can to give him a break from having to stress about his very busy schedule and focus on healing and resting, and not having to worry about anything financially for a little while.

Some of you might wonder why they haven’t tried to build up more of a savings or been more frugal with their money but seeing how much God has blessed them from being so giving I don’t think they would change anything.

My brothers and I have already discussed that we will be taking on some extra jobs, working extra, etc. to help pitch in so if you have any work you’d like done, please feel free to reach out to us!

If you are not able to give, we completely understand and don’t expect that of anyone, but would greatly appreciate your prayers and thank you to everyone who has already checked on us, given to us etc.. We Love yall!
