Hess Family Fund

Donation protected
Dear friends and family of Dahlon, Kristin, and Caden Hess. My name is Sharon and it’s my pleasure and honor to fundraise on behalf of the Hess family.
     Over the past couple of months, Dahlon has experienced a persistent cough, some intermittent calf pain, symptoms he thought to be minor. This past Sunday morning approximately 1:15 am, Dahlon experienced a syncopal episode (passed out) and Kristin found him unconscious. He was admitted to the hospital and after bloodwork, a lung biopsy, and brain MRI, they received the devastating diagnosis of stage 4, metastatic cancer, multiple blood clots and a pulmonary embolism. Imaging has revealed 2 masses in Dahlon’s lungs and 3 small tumors in his brain. As you can imagine, they are in shock, dealing with every emotion and scenario but ready to tackle what the future has in store. There will be oncology appointments, treatment planning, further testing, imaging, a PET scan (not covered by insurance) and likely more we know little about at this point.
     
If you know Dahlon, you know he exudes strength, health, humor and humility. He’s currently asymptomatic and living his normal, active lifestyle, minus working at this time.
     Dahlon and Kristin are givers, not takers, most of us are recipients of their generosity, gifts, love and friendship. But for now, as they are facing many unknowns, it’s our turn to give back. Let’s collaborate to provide financial, emotional, physical, spiritual and comical support for them on this road to beating cancer.
      Please contribute to this GoFundMe to reduce the burden of ongoing medical bills, treatment, medications, and to supplement loss of wages for both Dahlon and Kristin. We want their focus to be on what’s most important, keeping their family unit healthy and intact. If you are unable to contribute financially, they are welcoming your prayers, positive vibes, and comedy relief instead!
