Support Joseph's Fight Against Lung Cancer

Joseph Gerst is a devoted father, a talented chef, and a kind-hearted soul who is now facing the biggest challenge of his life. Recently diagnosed with stage four small cell lung cancer, Joseph has had to step away from the work he loves as a top chef at a country club in the Baltimore area. The cancer has progressed rapidly, affecting his ability to breathe, rest, and carry out daily tasks. Despite these hardships, Joseph's greatest joy remains spending precious time with his 3-year-old daughter, creating memories she will carry with her forever. Joseph is currently undergoing immunotherapy and, like many facing serious illness, is now burdened with mounting medical expenses and the cost of everyday living. Your generous donations will help cover medical bills, support Joseph and his daughter during this difficult time, and allow him to focus on his treatment and healing. Any funds raised beyond his needs will be donated to a local children’s charity in Joseph’s honor. Every contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated and brings hope to a family fighting for more time together.
