Help Kelly Fight AML Leukemia

Introduction
Hi, my name is Nate, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my incredible dad, Kelly. Recently, our family’s world was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with AML leukemia while also battling Parkinson’s. This has been an incredibly tough road for us all, but my dad is facing this fight with strength and determination.

The Story
In order to get the specialized care he needs, my dad has been admitted to the University of Kentucky Hospital, where they can provide advanced treatment tailored to his cancer. However, this has required significant sacrifices from our family. My stepmom has had to take a leave of absence from work, which means they’ve lost an important source of income during this time.

Right now, their expenses are adding up quickly. Between the cost of eating out daily—something necessary because my dad needs to maintain his calorie intake with foods he finds appetizing during the chemo —and their ongoing bills at home, the financial burden is very present in a long stay away. Doctors have told us this journey could take a long time, and we want to do everything we can to ease the stress on them so they can focus on his recovery.

How You Can Help
If you feel inspired to give, your generosity will go directly toward:

  • Daily meals to help my dad regain his strength.
  • Covering bills and essential expenses during this time.
  • Relieving some of the stress so they can focus on what truly matters: his health.
  • Whether it’s $1 or more, every little bit helps. My dad and stepmom don’t know I’m starting this, but I wanted to show them the love and support of our community during this incredibly hard time.

There is absolutely no pressure to donate. If you’re unable to give, we simply ask for your prayers for strength, healing, and resilience during this difficult time.

Closing
My dad is the strongest person I know, and with the love and support of friends, family, and the community, I know we’ll get through this together. Thank you so much for your kindness, generosity, and prayers. Every little bit helps, and we’re beyond grateful for the outpouring of support.
