<div><strong>Fighting Through the Hardest Battle of My Life.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve faced haunted houses, abandoned homes, and shadows most people never see. But this time… the battle isn’t in a house. It’s inside me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Over the past several weeks, everything changed. After eight intense weeks of radiation and chemotherapy, I am now in the next phase of aggressive cancer treatment — ongoing IV hydration, therapy, labs, and constant monitoring as my body works to recover. Appointments still fill most days, and complications have required repeated hospital stays. This is not a short chapter. It’s an ongoing fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s exhausting.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Fight I’m Facing</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Multiple hospitalizations from treatment-related infections have already set me back — each one physically draining and financially devastating. With my immune system weakened by treatment, even minor complications can become serious very quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But there is hope.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My doctors believe this cancer is highly treatable and curable. A recent PET scan showed it has not spread. That light at the end of this long corridor is real — but the road there is still demanding, and I am taking it one day at a time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Financial Impact</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cancer doesn’t just attack the body — it disrupts everything around it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the earliest weeks of this fight, I was between insurance coverages. During that time, biopsies, surgery, scans, blood panels, specialist visits, and critical testing had to move forward immediately — regardless of coverage. There was no option to wait for insurance to catch up. The cancer didn’t pause, and neither could the procedures needed to diagnose and begin treatment. Those early months alone created thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket medical expenses before my current insurance was fully in place.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now, even with coverage active, the costs continue to add up quickly.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I need help keeping my home stable and ensuring my boys are cared for while I focus on recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>I am setting a goal of $75,000, which will help cover:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Medical costs &amp; treatment:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• High monthly insurance premiums
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Large deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Ongoing treatment-related care, hydration, labs, and monitoring
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Hospital bills from multiple treatment-related infections
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Medications, medical supplies, and recovery-related expenses
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Support &amp; household:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Occasional in-home help on the hardest recovery days
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Lost income from being unable to work consistently
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>• Everyday living expenses that don’t pause during treatmentT
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t about one single bill. It’s about keeping our home steady, covering the gaps cancer treatment has created, and allowing me to focus fully on healing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I’m Asking for Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, whether you know me from Haunted Saginaw, my films, or my music, I’ve worked to share stories and connect with fans and the community. Now, I need your support in my own fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am not stopping. I still plan to release a new film this fall, and I am working on another album. Creating has always been how I move through darkness — and I refuse to let this chapter take that from me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you are able to contribute, any amount truly helps. If donating isn’t possible, sharing this page means more than you know. Every message, every prayer, and every act of support strengthens this fight.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am walking through a corridor of cancer treatment, fighting to stay strong for my boys. Every donation, every share, and every word of encouragement helps me keep moving forward.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution matters. Thank you for being part of this fight.

Steve Shippy’s Fight Against Cancer

<div>Hard times seem to find us all. It can come at us from all angles and be completely merciless. For Dustin, it’s been just that.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Recently, Dustin suffered a serious injury at his work which resulted in severe head trauma. He was just released after almost three weeks in the hospital and now faces a grueling physical, occupational, and speech therapy regimen. The road will be long, but he is strong and so are those around him.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>So if anyone can get there, it’s Dustin.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The diagnosis is as positive as anyone could hope for, and his family and job are helping in every way possible.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Aside from emotional support, good vibes, and prayers, <strong>Dustin needs a little help to not fall behind.</strong> Much against his pride, his family is putting this together in an attempt to get him the financial help he desperately needs during his recovery.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Dustin is the first person to offer help or lend a hand to anyone, family or stranger.</strong> He is also the last person to ask for help. Whatever you can afford, even a share to your social media helps.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This journey is going to take time and the road ahead will be intense, but Dustin is strong and will be better than ever in the end.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you,

</div>

<div><br />

Help For Dustin Cashmer

<div>The family of Stephen N. Smith is incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received from the community as a whole. You have been monumental in shining light on Stephen's story and the lack of justice.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Update: We have reactivated this GoFundMe and raised the Reward to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest in Stephen's Case. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As you all know from coverage back in April 2023, Sandy Smith led a fundraising effort to fund an independent exhumation and investigation into her son Stephen Smith's unsolved 2015 homicide. The overwhelming support from this initiative raised over $130,000 to pay for the immense expenses needed to properly examine and return Stephen plus fund a<strong> reward </strong>for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Stephen's killer(s).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>We feel its now critical to seek a new fundraising goal - to Raise The Reward for Information That Leads To An Arrest to $50,000. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That independent exhumation autopsy was approximately $40,000 and we are now focused on funding expenses related to the independent investigation, reward, and other unknown costs. We are determined to shake loose information that leads to an arrest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please know that we expect other ordinary expenses as we pursue Justice for Stephen up to and including a reward, investigators, travel, family expenses related to the investigation etc... No funds from this GoFundMe will be used as fees for her AMAZING attorneys Eric Bland &amp; Ronnie Richter who are donating their time to the exhumation and investigation effort.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>*** KEY EXPENSES WILL BE POSTED TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE ***</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a huge expense and undertaking, but we are hoping that with your support we can make this happen and finally get the answers we need. If you can give, we thank you for your generosity. If you cannot give, we would appreciate you sharing and praying for justice for Stephen. In either case, consider posting a green square to your social profiles to show support for our mission and remind the world that Stephen is not forgotten.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We believe 2025 is Stephen's year. Thank you all again for your love and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Key Expenses will be entered here with periodic updates:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3/29/2023	McAlister Funerals - Exhumation, Casket, Vault &amp; Transport ($18,548.10)
</div>
<div>4/5/2023	D'Michelle DuPre	- Pathologist Expenses ($3,827.00)

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>REWARD: Now at $50,000</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are also proud to share the Stephen Nicholas Smith Memorial Scholarship fund in partnership with the Community Foundation of The Lowcountry. Once we have answers in Stephen's case, remaining funds will be allocated to Stephen's scholarship.
