There and back again; Shaun's Beating Cancer Journey
Donation protected
Cancer was not on our bingo card for 2025.
On January 7, Shaun Pollard, beloved husband, dad, son, brother, nephew, cousin, and friend to many, was diagnosed with myxoid sarcoma, a rare (2:1,000,000/year) cancer.
Shaun and Lainey are the proud owner/operators of Shaun Pollard Professional Painting aka SP3 for the last nine years. This company and their loyal customers mean the world to them. Their understanding and patience are very much appreciated.
Lainey will be by Shaun’s side every step of the way, and they will be unable to work. They will have no income.
Shaun will be undergoing daily radiation therapy for four weeks prior to surgery. Recovery is expected to be up to a year. We have great faith in his oncology team at UIC.
We humbly ask for your support, prayers and good vibes.
Thank you.
All funds go directly to Shaun to help us survive the next few month. For medical bills, gas to get to and from treatment 5 days a week 70 miles one way. As self employed business owners no work means no pay. Especially as we get our footing and aid in order.
