Supporting the Schemans through chemo

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

I never imagined I’d be making this for my youngest sister and her husband, but unfortunately, they are facing a very challenging season where they could really use the kindness and support of others.

Just five months after experiencing the heartbreak of their miscarriage last year, Ryan was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had to undergo surgery. They have spent the past year trying to heal and move forward and are now facing another devastating blow. Ryan's cancer has returned and metastasized, spreading to his abdomen and both lungs. Because of this diagnosis, Ryan will need to undergo three months of chemotherapy starting very soon. They are scared, overwhelmed, and trying to stay strong through something no young couple should ever have to face.

On top of treatment expenses, they are also trying to navigate urgent fertility preservation costs before chemotherapy begins, as treatment may impact their future ability to grow their family. This has added another emotional and financial burden during an already devastating time.

Anyone who knows them knows how much they love each other and how hard they’ve worked to build their life together. They are the kind of people who help others, keep pushing through hard times, and never ask for anything. But right now, they need help.

Because Ryan will be off work during his chemotherapy , they are facing the loss of income at the same time medical costs and everyday bills continue to pile up. Caeley will be carrying the weight of keeping everything afloat while also trying to care for the person she loves most as he fights through this.

As her sister, it hurts to watch them go through this and not be able to fix it. So I’m asking for help the best way I know how.

Any donation will go toward helping with:
• Rent / household bills
• Groceries and daily necessities
• Gas and travel for appointments
• Medical and treatment-related costs
• Fertility preservation expenses as they try to protect their future family plans
• Helping replace lost income while Ryan is unable to work

More than anything, I want them to have one less thing to worry about so Ryan can focus on healing and Caeley can focus on loving and supporting him through this battle.

If you can donate, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. If you can’t, please share this and keep them in your prayers.

They have a long road ahead, but they don’t have to walk it alone.
