This fundraiser is a continuation of Jeff’s journey. Our original GoFundMe helped cover treatment-related expenses and travel during his fight against Stage 4 glioblastoma. As Jeff’s needs have changed, we are now facing an urgent new challenge: insurance has denied additional home PT, OT, and cognitive therapy until January. This fundraiser is dedicated solely to helping cover those therapy costs so Jeff can continue working to maintain and regain his mobility.

Asking for help as we fight for hope, time and Jeff. Family, friends, and our beloved community, this is one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to write. We have always tried to handle life’s challenges privately and with strength, but today we come to you with humble hearts. Creating this fundraiser is truly our last resort. Jeff has been diagnosed with brain cancer. Everything changed in an instant. Since that day, our focus has been singular: to give Jeff every possible chance... every treatment, every therapy, every option available. We are holding tightly to our faith, believing that God is bigger than any diagnosis and that He is walking beside us through every appointment, every decision, and every unknown. The medical expenses have quickly become overwhelming. Between hospital stays, specialist appointments, imaging, medications, treatments, and the unexpected costs that arise almost daily, the financial burden has grown far beyond what we anticipated. In addition, we are seeking out-of-state consultations, as advised by his physicians and specialists, to ensure we explore every opportunity and cutting-edge treatment available to him. We trust that the Lord is guiding us to the right doctors, the right treatments, and the right path forward. Travel costs, time away from work, and ongoing care needs are adding up faster than we could have imagined. While we are doing everything we can, we cannot do this alone. We believe God often works through the love and generosity of others, and we are humbly asking for that support now. If you are able to help in any way—through a donation, by sharing this page, or through continued prayers—we would be deeply grateful. Your support will go directly toward Jeff’s medical care and the essential expenses needed to support him throughout his treatment journey. Your prayers mean more to us than words can express, and we believe in the power of prayer and God’s healing hand. Most of all, we are fighting for hope. We are fighting for time. We are fighting for Jeff and we are standing firm in faith, trusting in God’s plan even when we cannot see it. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for standing with us. With gratitude and love, Rea, Rylan & Jeanna
