Our dear friends, Michael, Valerie, and their three wonderful boys, are navigating a challenge no family should ever have to face.

Earlier this year, Michael was diagnosed with an incredibly rare form of cancer. His journey has already included four major brain surgeries and a long road ahead with intensive radiation and immunotherapy. This sweet family has been meeting hurdle after hurdle with strength, all while caring for their boys and working to keep life as normal as possible.

The financial reality of fighting a rare disease is overwhelming—the prolonged treatments are carrying astronomical medical costs. When combined with the everyday expenses of being a family of five, the burden is simply immense. They need our help to stay afloat.

If you're lucky enough to know Michael and Valerie, you already know they are two of the kindest, most generous souls you'll ever meet. They are the first to show up for others. Now, it's our turn to wrap our arms around them. Let's show them the same extraordinary love and support they give so freely, and help lift the tremendous financial weight of this impossibly difficult time.
