Capt. Hugh Chancey of Chancey Charters was diagnosed with rectal cancer this past March. In true Hugh fashion, he kept working through 8 rounds of chemotherapy and 30 radiation treatments, even when doctors advised him to stop. Providing for his family has always been his first instinct.

Now, as he faces major surgery and a long recovery, the realities are hitting hard: time away from work, mounting medical bills, and the day-to-day expenses that don’t pause during a fight like this.

Hugh is a devoted husband to Celeste and a loving father to their daughter, Ella. This diagnosis has brought unimaginable emotional and financial strain as they navigate treatment and the uncertain road ahead.

We’re coming together to help ease the burden: medical costs, household expenses, and the unexpected needs that show up during a battle like this. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference for Hugh and his family. Even sharing this page helps extend support, love, and hope.

Thank you for standing with Hugh, Celeste, and Ella.


Your kindness brings strength during a chapter they never expected to face. ❤️
