Help Jeff Foley and His Family Fight Stage 4 Cancer

Asking for help has never come easy to Jeff Foley. He’s always been the one giving—whether that meant rushing home to grab clothes for a homeless man in need, mentoring young photographers trying to find their way, or going above and beyond to make sure every couple he photographed felt loved and cared for on their wedding day.

But now, Jeff, his wife Jeanette, and their 7-year-old daughter, Jaylynn, need your help.

They’ve held off on asking, partly out of pride and partly because they wanted to ensure that others who are struggling received support first, but they’re at a point now where the need is urgent. Mounting medical bills, costly home repairs, and the constant toll of fighting cancer have left the Foleys in a financially fragile place. They are doing all they can, but it’s no longer enough.

A Life-Threatening Health Battle

Jeff is currently battling Stage 4 Metastatic Melanoma—with tumors in both his brain and adrenal gland. This is his third bout with cancer in just three years.

It started in December 2022 with a melanoma diagnosis. Despite multiple surgeries, the removal of lymph nodes, and grueling rounds of immunotherapy, the cancer returned. The treatments have wreaked havoc on his body, even triggering Type 1 diabetes.

Today, Jeff is undergoing even more aggressive immunotherapy, along with potential radiation and surgery, trying to fight back. The side effects are brutal: high fevers, convulsions, intense pain, and near-constant fatigue. He's endured five major surgeries and countless biopsies. Despite all of this, Jeff continues to persevere, fueled by faith, family, and a deep desire to raise his daughter.

But the truth is, he’s exhausted. Physically, emotionally, and financially.

A Series of Unrelenting Challenges

As if cancer wasn’t enough, life hasn’t slowed down around the Foley family:

• Their A/C unit died—twice—costing nearly $15,000.

• A burst pipe caused major water damage in their home.

• Their savings have vanished, and there’s nothing left to fall back on.

While Jeff is working full-time, his health will determine how long he can continue to do so. The Foleys are now facing the terrifying reality that they could lose everything.

How Your Donation Will Help

Your support will go directly to helping the Foley family:

• Pay down a $10,000+ bill at Moffitt Cancer Center, which continues to grow as Jeff receives weekly treatments.

• Rebuild a small nest egg to help ensure Jeanette and Jaylynn have some stability if the worst happens.

• Cover ongoing medical expenses, travel to Tampa for treatment, and essential living costs while Jeff fights for his life.

Jeff wrote a book, "Healed on the Inside", about turning to faith during times of crisis. And while his faith is strong, he’s human, and he’s tired. He worries about being the dad and husband his family deserves. He worries about the future.

But he’s not giving up. He still believes in miracles, and in the kindness of others.
