Help Frank Fight Pancreatic Cancer

Donation protected
Hello. For those that don't know me, my name is Kayla, and I'm creating this GoFundMe, along with my siblings, on behalf of our dad, Frank, who was recently diagnosed with stage 2 pancreatic cancer.

This is not the first time cancer has hit our family - we lost our Mom to cancer in 2020 and I lost my husband, Andy, to cancer in 2018. Now, as our dad begins his fight, the weight of the world feels even heavier.

Frank has been an independent truck driver for 40+ years - one of the hardest working people I know. This career is not easy; it requires 12-14 hour days five times a week, missing family functions and time away from home, but he always kept going to make sure we had what we needed. Now, he needs to take time off the road to fight for his life.

What we’re facing
Our dad will be undergoing a major surgery, July 17, followed by chemotherapy, and will be unable to work the next few months. Unfortunately, he does not have a retirement, 401k, or savings - so without his regular income, it's going to be nearly impossible to keep up with rent, utilities, groceries, and growing medical expenses.

He's never been the type to ask for help, but we're at a point where we truly need it.

How can you help
I'm asking for your help to raise $15,000 to support my dad through this incredibly tough time. These funds will go directly toward:
- Rent and monthly bills
- Groceries and basic necessities
- Medical expenses not covered by insurance

Every donation, no matter the amount, truly makes a difference. If you're unable to give, please consider sharing this page with others.

Cancer has taken so much from me and my family already. I'm doing everything I can to make sure it doesn't take everything.

Thank you for reading. Your kindness, support, and prayers mean the world to us.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love and gratitude,
The Maier Family.
