At just 34 years old, Tyler is facing a battle no family ever expects to face. Tyler was recently diagnosed with cancer and is currently facing an extensive hospital stay at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he is receiving the treatment and care he needs.

For the past 13 years, Tyler and his girlfriend, Tori, have built their life and family together. They are raising their two children, 5-year-old Lenox and 10-year-old Jace, and right now their family is facing an incredibly difficult and uncertain time.

Despite everything he is going through, Tyler's sense of humor is still in full force, and he continues to stay positive. That's Tyler. He loves gaming, softball, baseball and hockey—and if you know him, you know it's always Go Brewers! Go Blackhawks!

But more than anything, Tyler is a dad.

He has an incredibly special relationship with both of his children. Lenox is her daddy's princess, and the bond between Tyler and Jace is something truly special. Jace is non-verbal autistic, and he and his dad share their own unique love language—a connection that doesn't need words to be understood.

While Tyler is hospitalized, Tori continues to work while caring for Lenox and Jace and doing everything she can to keep their family moving forward. But with Tyler unable to work and his income no longer available, the financial strain is becoming overwhelming.

The distance to Mayo Clinic also adds another layer of difficulty. The hours of driving back and forth, hotel stays, meals, gas and other travel expenses quickly add up, all while the family's everyday expenses continue. Rent, utilities, medical expenses and the costs of raising two children don't stop simply because life has suddenly changed.

We are asking for help so that Tori can continue to work, care for their children, and be there for Tyler during his treatment, without having to worry about how every bill is going to be paid.

Every contribution will make a difference.

Funds raised will help with rent, utilities, medical expenses, travel and lodging related to Tyler's treatment, and other essential expenses for the family during this difficult time.

If you know Tyler, you know the kind of person he is. He's the guy who can find a reason to laugh even when things aren't easy. He's a devoted dad, a sports fan, a gamer, and someone who is facing this fight with an incredible amount of positivity.

Now it's our turn to surround Tyler, Tori, Lenox and Jace with the same love and support they've given to the people around them.

If you're able to donate, every dollar will help. If you're not in a position to give, sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family and community is just as meaningful.

Most importantly, please keep Tyler and his family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate the road ahead.

Thank you for standing beside Tyler, Tori, Lenox and Jace. ❤️ From the bottom of our hearts we Thank you! Tracy L (Tori's Mom)
