I can’t believe how fast this time is going. You never realize how much stuff you have until you start packing it! We have till the first. to come up with the rest of the security deposit, and I will say you guys I have no words. for the kindness that you are showing our family. You know, I don’t talk about our GoFundMe A lot, it’s been here since January, and it is a large part of what helps me keep him home. Without this throughout this year, I don’t know how we would’ve made it truthfully, I don’t. I do my very best to be as resourceful as I can apply for every grant find as many opportunities on social media use codes I make a small amount from views and Rob gets a small amount from Social Security. That doesn’t even cover the rent. That being said, I wish I could clone myself unfortunately, I can’t be in two places at once. and in home care is incredibly expensive our landlord paid $6000 a week so we don’t have that option. For him to be home, I have to be able to take care of him, and I have to have to keep the lights on that’s just the reality of it. And our situation is not unique. We know somebody with Rob’s same diagnosis living in their truck two people losing their homes. It’s incredibly sad. I wish we were the only ones. I wish this wasn’t happening to so many people but the bills don’t stop because you get terminal cancer and it breaks my heart. This is my very long way of saying thank you. I hold so much gratitude, I don’t know how to express. You know we have lived in the same spot for seven years. The world changed the rent prices certainly did. This is scary for us, for our rent will triple with this move and this place was the absolute lowest end of rent in our area. and I’m barely keeping the lights on where we are. so with every fiber of my being, with everything in my heart, with all that I am thank you. I really want you to think if you watch a video of Rob and I every time you hear him tell me that he loves me or me tell me that I love him or hold hands, hug you know that we are going to get our son from school every minute that we are spending together. I want you to know and feel within yourself that you’re a part of that. Every minute that my son, gets to spend with his dad before he goes you are a part of that. That isn’t a small thing you’re literally helping me keep my family under the same roof. I really want you to understand the gravity of it. Feel the weight of it. I’m gonna leave it there because I really want that to sit with all of you so that hopefully you can feel a grain of the immense gratitude that I feel for each and every single one of you. Allie

As all of you know, we have been looking for a place to live. We have toured a few places, and we think that we have found one. We will be getting the answer tomorrow. This is a very exciting time, but it’s stressful as well. Our rent is going to nearly triple, and that’s scary because I already fight so hard just to pay the bills every single month and without all of you and what I make from social media it wouldn’t happen. We need the other costs of moving as well. which I am sure all of you know the costs that come along with it so I am very nervous right now. However, there is an even bigger piece to this rob is tired. This has been overwhelming and stressful. It’s been too much for him. It’s wiping him out. This time that he has left, it shouldn’t be spent in chaos. I could not imagine knowing that my clock was ticking and having all of this sitting on my head, not being able to just focus on fighting the disease that’s in my body. He is so so tired you guys and he just wants to be settled, he hasn’t forgotten about the vow renewal. He much would rather focus on that, so we are hoping praying, doing everything we can in our power to make sure that tomorrow this goes smoothly. I have a hard time talking about this GoFundMe. but the reality is without it, without each of you our family would be completely separated it is just the harsh truth and I’ve said it many times, but more so now than ever. This rent here is astronomical. It is mind-blowing. It hurts me even to speak it out loud. which means the deposit is as well, and it is taking a true miracle for all of this to come together we love you guys. With everything in us here please send us all of your good energy, your prayers, everything you have this works out because this is a big one. And to the future, to keeping him home for as long as he’s breathing, we’ve done it this far. It doesn’t happen without everybody that is here. Just know that you are a part of that every time he lays his head down on the pillow at night at home. and not in some facility every time he gets to say goodnight to gunnar you are a part of that. That’s not a small thing. It’s a miracle. that I didn’t think was going to happen. I only say this because I want you to understand the gravity of what you’re doing for our family. OK, I’m going to bed. I love all of you. Tomorrow’s a big day, so I just wanted to talk to you guys. and tell all of you how much you mean to us and tell you to think of us send us all of your positivity as we go into this tomorrow Allie Rob and Gunnar

My birthday is officially six days away. There is no party or presents. There’s nothing in the traditional sense that anybody would think of for a birthday this year and that’s ok I only have one wish. That we find a place to call home, that the finances come together, the place comes together, everything comes together this week. The biggest reason for that has nothing to do with me. it’s so that Rob can finally have some peace my wish for my birthday this year is to finally have everything come together so that I can see the love of my life be at peace, so that he can rest. He has fought so hard for so long, and yes, it hurts me to say it. but he’s ready, you guys. He’s tired. And the only thing I want for him is to be able to have a couple of months where he doesn’t have to struggle. He doesn’t have to worry about finances or if we’re going to be settled, if we’re going to have a home. Where he can just focus on life, family, and spending whatever time he has left being free of struggle. I don’t want to see him waste one more bit of energy. stressed out, forcing himself to get up and battle and worry and wonder what’s going to happen to us, what’s going to happen to him, where is he going to spend the rest of his days? Will it even be with us? Is it going to be in a facility? That is the only thing that I want. is for him to be able to rest and lay it all down and just enjoy the little bit of time that he has left. And I don’t think that’s too much to ask. so I am laying my pride, my ego, aside. I am humbling myself. I am reaching out for help, I am grasping at every straw. to make sure this can happen for him. because we’re in the end game here. the stars have to align perfectly, or our family can not stay together. So I’m laying it at the feet of the universe. I am putting it out there. This is my wish. in the week of my birthday I hope, with everything in me, it comes true ❤️

This is a very scary trying time for us. The time to move has come upon us. We have a move out date of November 6 and not only do we have the struggle of trying to find a place to live. We are trying to come up with enough money to get the deposit the first months rent everything together to give someone to get a place on top of that, we see all of you that have come to our aid and I cannot even begin to tell you the gratitude that we feel it’s hard for us to talk about our go fund me talking about finances isn’t easy, but the truth is without the donations here Rob would not be home in the first place this is a big portion of what helps us pay the monthly bills and we use that plus what we make through social media and the very small amount from Social Security and we are praying that it all comes together in time and that we find a house to rent. On top of that, Rob just started his third round of palliative chemotherapy back but the real reality is this is his 20th round since he’s been diagnosed and he is tired you guys it’s a lot. Most people get three or four rounds total ever he is fighting with everything in him and it is exhausting and painful and this adds a whole new stress on top of it so I’m not afraid to say that we’re scared we are and we are overwhelmed and exhausted. We need to stay in our region to keep our son at his school, which is limiting, but truth be told that boy has been through enough, and it would be detrimental to him to be pulled from his school. His whole team has said that the last thing he needs so we’re going to work very hard to make sure that doesn’t happen and I hope and pray with everything in me that we can come up with a miracle because that’s what it’s going to take. We are going to have to pull every resource at this point. We love all of you. There is no doubt about that without this. Our family wouldn’t be together. Rob would be in a facility two hours away. That’s just the reality of it. It’s harsh but it’s the truth. We are fighting against every odd right now. My birthday is in 10 days maybe this is going to be my birthday miracle I don’t know a girl can dream right❤️ Thank you to every single person that is here thank you because I don’t know much about what’s going to happen but the only thing that I do know is that without all of you we don’t have a chance that is the one thing that I know for certain. Allie Rob and Gunnar

Rob has resumed palliative chemotherapy. The first round is done and he is taking it very hard. He has been so unbelievably sick. We are right back to square one. However he is fighting for time. He is fighting for one more hug for one more. I love you and to him That’s the only thing that matters so we will support him. We will stand by him and if they are right, and this is his absolute last year on this earth, I will make it my mission to make it the absolute most joyful meaningful year that anyone has ever had. We had people walk through our side of the house yesterday. This is the first time that has happened because this is the first serious buyer which means our time here is short so we need to find somewhere to call Home because given how Rob is taking this treatment I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know that whatever time he has it will be together. I will fight for that as I always have to to make sure that he does not spend one minute of the rest of his life in a facility. I could not do this without all of you once we get the Home situation figured out then the vow renewal. Which is also going to be a gorgeous celebration of Rob’s life. It’s something he’s really looking forward to. I know that we have so much stress on top of us right now. I know we have so many things going on, but I want to make sure that even with everything his life his days are filled with so much joy. Again, I want to thank all of you because I could not do this without you. Those hugs the days that I get to sit there and hold his hand when I get to watch him and my son together that wouldn’t be without all of you so we will continue to share and fight and hold immense amounts of gratitude for each and everyone of you and I’m going to figure out this housing thing because I know it’s the one thing that Rob really wants to see before he goes is us settled. He wants to see that we have a place to call home that’s when he will truly be at peace. I love you guys. I am so grateful to all of you and I hope that you all had an amazing summer round two coming this Wednesday. Hopefully they get a little bit easier on him. We will see, but we will just continue forward and be grateful for every day that our family is together.
