Support Robert's Brain Cancer Fight

Robert Kuhl is a loving and impactful mentor and educator who has touched the lives of hundreds of students and teachers. Robert recently received the news that he has brain cancer. His astrocytoma tumor is late stage and likely inoperable.  

Treatment options are developing and Robert and his loving family—his wife Christine and his two beautiful children, Tenzin and Shanti—are making choices about how to proceed. The Kuhl family is moving back to San Diego to be closer to family and friends and to have better healthcare options. They need our support to move back to San Diego from Hawaii and to cover daily costs, as Robert will be unable to work. Funds are also likely to be used for treatments as the plan becomes clearer, and to allow the family to spend their time together as much as possible. Right now, time is of the essence because the Kuhls need to make the move as soon as possible. Collecting funds to start the ball rolling is crucial.

Once the family is back on the mainland, other opportunities to help will certainly develop. Right now, Robert welcomes anyone who would like to reach out in writing to share their thoughts. He is collecting stories and memories you might have of him to compile into a book, in case that legacy becomes necessary for his children. Please email any thoughts to [email redacted].

Take a moment to think about the difference Robert and Christine Kuhl have made for so many lives. Now, it is our turn to have an impact on their lives. These funds will clear the way for the family to return to San Diego and to their "village" of loving family and friends, ready to support them in this fight. Please share this effort, please give what you can, and please ensure this family knows that we stand behind them, ready to help in their hour of need.
