Support Matt’s Fight and Recovery

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

Our family is once again navigating unthinkable news.

On March 29th, while visiting me, my brother Matt suffered a sudden and severe seizure. After rushing him to the hospital, scans revealed a brain tumor. On April 11th, Matt underwent neurosurgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible.

Since then, we’ve received the final diagnosis: Matt has an aggressive brain tumor (cancer). This means he faces a long and uncertain road ahead, including continued recovery, follow-up care, and likely further treatment.

Through it all, Matt remains on unpaid medical leave without income. The mounting costs—hospital bills, medications, therapy, and basic living expenses—have become more than we can manage alone. That’s why we’re reaching out for your support.

Your donation can help Matt with:

  • Medical bills not covered by insurance
  • Insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs
  • Prescription medications and essential nutritional supplements
  • Physical therapy and recovery tools for home care
  • Transportation to specialists and follow-up appointments
  • Daily living expenses as he focuses on healing

Matt has always been the one to quietly show up for others, never asking for anything in return. Now, he needs us to show up for him.

Whether you’re able to contribute financially, share this page, or simply send your love and encouragement, we are endlessly grateful for your support. Every gesture matters.

If you know Matt personally, visits, calls, and messages mean the world right now. Just knowing he’s not alone in this fight helps lift his spirits.

If you prefer a donation with fewer (or no) fees, you can also use Venmo:

Thank you for standing with Matt and our family during this time.

With all our hearts,
Alycia, on behalf of the whole Ketter Family
