Support Steve's Fight Against Stage IV Oropharyngeal Cancer
Donation protected
In December 2024, Steve received a devastating diagnosis: stage IV oropharyngeal cancer. While many families were celebrating the holidays, Steve was facing a life-changing challenge. He is currently undergoing both chemotherapy and radiation.
Steve is a loving husband to Sara and a devoted father to two young boys, Titan, 7, and Tripp, 5. His family means everything to him, and he’s always been the foundation of their world. Steve is the kind of man who never asks for anything, always putting the needs of others before his own. He is a selfless, hardworking individual who would do anything to make sure his family is cared for and supported.
He’s facing the fight of his life, and it’s been incredibly tough. Steve has lost both of his parents - his father in 2016 and his mother in 2017—and he knows the pain of losing someone close. More than anything, Steve wants to be here for Titan and Tripp, to make the kind of memories with them that he had with his own dad growing up.
Unfortunately, the distance to the hospital, which is 3 hours away, has made it impossible for both Steve and Sara to continue working. They've both had to step away from their jobs to focus on his treatment and care. This added financial strain on top of the medical bills, travel costs, and everyday expenses is a heavy burden on their shoulders.
We’re reaching out to you, friends, family, and even strangers, to help lighten the load for Steve and his family during this challenging time. Your generosity will directly contribute to his treatment and the everyday needs of his family as they face the months ahead.
Steve has shown incredible strength and determination throughout this battle, and with the love and support of his community, he can keep fighting. Together, we can help him stay strong and focused on what matters most—his family, his health, and his future.
