My name is Catherine, and I am reaching out on behalf of my son, who is facing an incredibly difficult journey. He has been diagnosed with a brain tumor, and his surgery is scheduled for September 4th. As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to watch your child go through something so serious, but we are doing everything we can to support him through this challenge.

The days ahead will be filled with hospital visits, recovery, and uncertainty. The funds raised here will help us cover the mounting medical costs, provide lodging so we can stay close to him during his hospital stay, and help keep our family afloat as we take unpaid time off work to be by his side during his recovery. Every bit of support will make a real difference in helping us focus on what matters most: my son’s healing and well-being.

We are so grateful for our friends, family, and community. Your support—whether through donations, kind words, or simply sharing our story—means more to us than we can express. Thank you for standing with us during this difficult time. We truly could not do this without you.
