Hello, my name is Brandon, and I am starting this to help raise money for my best friend Stephen Garcia and his family. In 2014, just weeks after marrying his wife Betsy, Steve was diagnosed with Lymphoepithelial Carcinoma, a rare and very aggressive cancer. Steve had multiple surgeries, a radical neck dissection, other procedures, and weeks of intense radiation. The surgeries left him permanently scarred as the cancer was in his face, neck, and ear. Steve battled through and was given the best news anyone with cancer can hear: "You're cancer free!"
In June of 2020, Steve and Betsy welcomed their daughter Annie into the world. Annie is very smart and outgoing, and is always by her dad's side. Steve is the best father anyone could ask for. He dedicates his entire life to his wife and child.
Recently, Steve was diagnosed with Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma, another very aggressive type of cancer. The Garcia family needs our help! They are still dealing with medical debt from the first round of cancer treatments. This next battle will be long and difficult for this young family, and they need all the love and support they can get. When I say I have never met a more generous human than Steve, I truly mean it. Steve and I have been best friends for nearly 15 years, and he has always been there for anything I, or my family, have ever needed. Now, it's my turn to help them.
I am asking that we come together to help this family. Money is tight for everyone, but every little bit helps. All funds raised will be used for medical bills and living expenses by the family. I ask that you please send thoughts and prayers as well for Steve and his family to help them through this most difficult time.
