I am Matt's partner and acting caregiver, Kyra. I created this fund for those wishing to support Matt during his cancer treatment and recovery. Through managing all his appointments, medications, transportation, etc., I now understand what a long and non-linear process this is. After nine months and without medical leave, the financial ramifications continue to grow. By making a contribution you're helping ease that burden and allow Matt to focus on life and goals beyond cancer. All donations will be used for ongoing bills and basic life expenses.

We're sincerely grateful to all those who have shared their support throughout this journey. For those contributing through prayers and positive vibes- we thank you and will continue to appreciate this form of support!

We're including a brief timeline for those interested in Matt's status. Updates will be added as we go along, so feel free to check back.
