Please join us in supporting Ross and his family.

On June 19, Ross was diagnosed with an aggressive Burkitt lymphoma. Since then, he has been courageously undergoing treatment through the incredible team at Mayo Clinic.

On March 11, Ross’s medical team discovered that the lymphoma had progressed further. They also found a 12 cm tumor on his spine. After careful consultation with his doctors, it was determined that there were no additional treatment options available. Ross and his family are now navigating the difficult decisions of what the next steps are.

Ross is a devoted husband to his wife, Jen, and a loving father to their two boys.

Throughout his life, Ross has dedicated his career to helping young people grow and thrive. From leading worship and youth ministry to his life's work as an educator and administrator, Ross has always given of himself selflessly to support and shape the lives of others. So many young people are better, stronger, and more confident because of the care and encouragement Ross offered them.

Now, we have the opportunity to support Ross and his family during this incredibly difficult time.

We are raising funds to help Jen and the boys with medical expenses, ongoing care, funeral costs, and to provide additional financial stability for their family in the months ahead.

If you are able, please consider making a donation. Just as meaningful is sharing this page with others who may want to help.

Most of all, please keep The Hellands in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate the journey ahead.

Thank you for surrounding this family with love and support.
