UPDATE 7/8/2025: On Monday dad was diagnosed with a 3rd non-curable cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a very aggressive form of Leukemia. He is now at Emory hospital in ATL where he will spend the entire month of July getting aggressive chemo to try to get into remission. If all goes well, he will then spent the entire month of September back in the hospital getting a Bone Marrow Transplant.

Our Dad, Tim, is truly one of a kind. He’s always put his family first, no matter what. Raising my sister and I as a single father for the last 12 years, he did everything he could to ensure my sister and I were safe, happy, and loved. He worked hard, sacrificed without hesitation, and never once complained. He’s always been our rock, and now, he needs our help.

Over the past two years, our dad has been battling two incurable cancers: Bone Cancer and T-Cell Lymphoma. Through it all, he has shown a kind of strength that leaves us in awe. He’s stayed positive, hopeful, and strong—even in the darkest moments. His courage is inspiring, and his determination to keep going is something we’ll never forget.

In the last 2 years, he has endured:

6 months of chemotherapy

Radiation treatments

8 major surgeries, including 7 in the last 10 months alone

Most recently, they removed part of his collarbone, sternum, and ribs due to an ongoing bone infection

2 serious kidney infections

5 chest infections—4 at the same time, including sepsis

8 days in the infectious disease unit

An open chest wound that hasn’t healed in over 10 months

A wound pump that has been in place for over 175+ days

131+ days on powerful antibiotics

Despite all of this, he still manages to smile, crack jokes, and remind us to be grateful for the little things. But the financial burden is heavy. His insurance doesn’t cover all the medical bills, and the cost of continued care is more than our family can handle alone.

We’re asking for your help to support our Dad in his time of need. Every donation, no matter how small, goes directly toward his medical bills, treatments, and recovery. And if you can’t donate, please share this page. Your support means more to us than words can express.

Thank you for helping us take care of the man who has always taken care of us.

With love and gratitude,

Katie and Isabelle Christopherson
