<div>On 12/26, the world became a little darker as it lost one of its most amazing souls and brightest lights. If you ever met Triston Shumway, you were lucky to have known him. If you didn’t, you truly missed out on someone special. Triston loved hard—with all of his being. He would do anything for anyone. There was never a homeless person he passed without turning around to buy them food, and never a veteran he encountered without stopping to shake their hand and thank them for their service. Triston would walk through the grocery store passing out compliments to strangers, just to brighten their day and put a smile on their face. All he ever wanted to do was love and make people happy, and he succeeded. He was, and still is, the most loving, caring, honest, and genuine person I have ever come into contact with. Triston truly made his mark in this world, and his absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.  Triston leaves behind a beautiful wife, loving mother, siblings, and many more friends and family. As they grieve this unimaginable loss, we are reaching out for help to cover the medical bills and funeral costs, and to ease the burden on his sweet wife and family. Any support, whether through donations or by sharing this fundraiser, would mean the world to Triston’s loved ones as they navigate this heartbreaking time. Thank you for helping us honor Triston’s memory and support his family in their greatest time of need.

<div>Hi, my name is Nate, and I never imagined I’d be writing something like this.

</div>

<div>In the past year and a half, I’ve survived things most people only read about — and now, I’m facing my most dangerous fight yet.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>It All Started in 2024 — When Everything Changed</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Last year, I was rushed to the hospital with acute diverticulitis that had caused a perforated bowel.

</div>

<div>By the time I arrived, I had been septic for over 8–10 hours — my body was shutting down.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Doctors performed multiple major abdominal surgeries, removing over one-fifth of my large intestine (the descending sigmoid colon) to save my life. I woke up with a temporary colostomy and spent 10 days in the ICU fighting to stay alive.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Months later, after a long and painful recovery, I finally underwent a colostomy reversal surgery. I started to feel like maybe — just maybe — I was getting my life back.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But I was wrong.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Just Weeks Ago, It All Came Crashing Down Again</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>A little over two weeks ago, I was hospitalized once more — this time with sepsis caused by Enterococcus faecium and several internal infections.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I underwent two more surgeries during that stay:

</div>

<div>First, doctors had to remove my severely inflamed and infected gallbladder.

</div>

<div>Then, during an endoscopic surgery, they discovered something far more serious — a mass completely blocking my main bile duct.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>They placed a temporary stent to keep me alive and took biopsies to determine what the mass was.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>When the results came back, my heart sank.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>The Diagnosis: Adenoma with High-Grade Dysplasia</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The biopsy revealed that the mass was an adenoma with high-grade dysplasia — meaning it’s precancerous and dangerously close to turning malignant.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>To save my life and remove the mass before it spreads, my doctors told me I need one of the most complex and high-risk abdominal surgeries there is — <strong>The Whipple Procedure.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This surgery involves removing parts of my pancreas, bile duct, and small intestine. It can take 6–12 hours, followed by a long, painful recovery and the possibility of chemotherapy depending on what they find during surgery.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>I’ve Survived the Impossible Before — But I Can’t Do This Alone</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In just over a year, I’ve faced:

</div>

<ul>

<li>A ruptured colon and sepsis that nearly killed me,

</li>

<li>Multiple major abdominal surgeries,

</li>

<li>ICU stays and months of recovery,

</li>

<li>And now, a precancerous tumor requiring the Whipple procedure.

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve fought through every battle with everything I have — but my body, my finances, and my spirit are exhausted.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’m now unable to work, and the mounting medical bills, hospital stays, medications, and upcoming recovery costs are more than I can handle on my own.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>How Your Support Will Help</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Every donation — big or small — helps me take one step closer to surviving this next surgery and rebuilding my life.</strong>

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Your kindness will go directly toward:

</div>

<ul>

<li>Covering surgical and hospital expenses

</li>

<li>Supporting recovery and post-surgery care

</li>

<li>Helping with daily living costs while I heal

</li>

<li>And ensuring I can focus on recovery instead of financial stress

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you can’t donate, sharing this campaign also means the world — every share brings hope and visibility to my story.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>From My Heart — Thank You

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>I’ve looked death in the face more than once in the past year, and I’m still here — still fighting — because of the strength and compassion of the people around me.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>If you’ve read this far, thank you.

</div>

<div>If you donate or share, thank you even more.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>You’re helping me hold onto my future — and giving me another chance at life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for being part of my fight.

</div>

<div>— Nate
