Patrick and Erin are facing every family's worst nightmare. After exhausting all available treatment options for Patrick's colon cancer, his medical team has recommended and transitioned his care to hospice, allowing the family to focus on comfort, time together, and making the most of each precious day. As they navigate this difficult season, Erin is balancing the emotional weight of caring for her husband while also supporting their three young children through an unimaginable loss. Compounding the heartbreak, Erin's father has also recently entered hospice care, leaving her to cope with the impending loss of two beloved family members at the same time.

Alongside these emotional challenges, the family is facing mounting medical expenses and the everyday costs of maintaining a household during a time when their focus should be on one another. This fundraiser has been created to help ease some of that financial burden by assisting with medical bills, household expenses, and the many unexpected costs that arise during end-of-life care and the transition that follows. Our hope is that this support will allow Patrick, Erin, and their children to spend this precious time together, creating memories, finding comfort in one another, and focusing on what matters most without the added stress of financial uncertainty.

Any donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Patrick, Erin, their children, and their extended family in your thoughts and prayers during the difficult days ahead.
