Support Todd Hudson's Fight Against Stage 4 Cancer

Hello everyone! My name is Kyleigh Hessian and I have permission from Todd and Kelly Hudson to share their story.

In June of 2024, my friend Kelly's husband Todd had routine gallbladder removal surgery. After the surgery, he began to have trouble with eating and keeping food down. Upon further investigation with an endoscopy, their lives got turned upside down. The physician had discovered a large tumor in the esophageal junction of his stomach. The tumor was sent for biopsy, which came back malignant for Adenocarcinoma. Over the last few months, they have undergone countless appointments, testing, and procedures in order to determine the extent of his cancer. At their most recent appointment, they found out that the cancer had reached stage 4 metastasis, and that he would not be a candidate for the original clinical trial that he was signed up for. They plan to go forward with treatment to attack the cancer aggressively, but they are dealing with the financial ramifications.

Together they parent four children, and their oldest recently graduated high school and began his journey at college in August. Todd is unable to work due to his conditions, and Kelly is working when she can, but with the number of appointments that they will have to attend starting chemotherapy in the next couple days they need some assistance. The medical bills have grown to be overwhelming even with medical insurance, and they are struggling to afford their normal housing and utilities. With three kids still living at home, they will need some extra support through this process. Please feel free to donate anything you can spare--any amount helps!
