<div>UPDATE: Lee had his surgery, all went well as planned, they were able to remove the cancer but now we wait… the hardest part. He has to heal some before he can start treatment and we have to hope and pray that

<div>nothing else grows while we wait. He will have continued scans to keep an eye on things. Can our pray warriors help us pray? I’ve uploaded a picture even though you can’t see the whole thing, it is an image of some of what he had to go through.

<div>Hi, my name is Ambre, and I'm fundraising for a very good friend of ours Lee Wagers... a man who has spent his life working his butt off and showing up for everyone else around him, now it's OUR TURN to show up for him and show our support!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Lee is only 42 years old, and for these last 3 years (Since May 15th, 2022) he's been fighting ccRCC (CLEAR CELL RENAL CELL CARCINOMA). Unfortunately, it is an aggressive cancer. But he's been fighting this with everything he got! He's a devoted dad to 4 wonderful kids. LEE (19), TYLER (18) RAYNE (3), AND JENSEN (2 MONTHS OLD) and a devoted husband. They are his world!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>His journey has been nothing short of brutal. Lee has endured and powered through short and long hospital stays, chemo, different treatment options, surgeries (kidney removal), (bottom lobe Lung removal) and now facing yet another surgery on July 28th, 2025.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Brain surgery ... yes, the cancer has now spread to the brain, he has received three radiation treatments two weeks ago to try to slow down the progression of the cancer until he is able to have his surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But now... he needs help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Things have shifted and now because of the mass causing seizures, his upcoming brain surgery, and upcoming treatment plans, the road ahead has become more complex, he's lost his license, (because of the seizures) and the doctors have advised he's not able to continue working for at least 6 months or more. Now we are focused on making sure he and his family is supported, and he will be able to be present with his wife and kids for every precious moment while he continues to fight the BIGGEST FIGHT OF HIS LIFE.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We're also hosting a spaghetti dinner benefit in September for the community and raise funds to support Lee and his family, but for those who can't attend, this page has been created to offer another way to contribute.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We thank you for all the support, and he will too!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>*All funds raised will go to:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Covering day-to-day costs, and bills that are piling up while Lee focuses on his health and family.
</li>
<li>Co-Pays
</li>
<li>On going treatment co-pays, and bills coming in thereafter
</li>
<li>Giving Lee a chance after surgery to make memories with his wife and children without financial burden.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This go fund me isn't just about money it's, about hope, love, and faith.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want him to have no stress, no pressure, just love, and to make memories. We still are not sure of what comes next, what is around the corner for lee, but we are trying to make the heavy, a little bit lighter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every little bit of support counts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With much love, we thank you for donating, sharing, praying, or simply holding him and his family in your thoughts.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
