Life is strange, and also poetic.

In January 2023, my father passed away from a Stage IV Glioblastoma brain tumor. I cared for him in home hospice, with the help of my family and support of friends.

Now, just over two years later, I find myself facing a similar battle.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with an even larger Glioma brain tumor. I’m young, strong, and we caught it before the worst could happen. My team of neurologists and I are determined to fight—and win.

But I won’t lie: the road ahead is uncertain. Ive likely lived with this for years and never known. The risks are very real. And while I’m hopeful and confident, I’m not too proud to hide the fact that I'm also deeply afraid.

And so I humbly ask again for the help of my family and friends to give myself and immediate family a fighting chance to face this without being crushed by it. I’ve created this GoFundMe to assist my Mother with the financial burdens and responsibilities that may come—whether it’s medical expenses, or worst-case preparations (though I have no intentions of losing this fight).

As I helped care for and suppory my father, my mother now prepares to support me. And in that mirror of love and loss, we are doing all we can to keep the faith and win this — God willing.

Whether you can give $1, $100, flowers, or just your thoughts and prayers—I’m grateful and I promise you its more then I could ever expect or ask for.

To my loved ones and friends: weep nor worry for me.

Weep for the ones forced to watch history try to repeat itself.

And stand with me, as I do my best to fight and make sure it doesn’t.

— With love, faith, and fire
