Help Phil and his family with his cancer fight

Hello everyone, Phillip and his family are looking for support in helping with medical expenses and care, as well as future support for their children, who are nine and four. Phil is an Elementary Physical Education teacher, High School Track and Field, and Football coach, as well as an Adult Education Soccer teacher who has dedicated his life to helping others, through education and athletics. Sadly, he was forced to stop, due to his cancer diagnosis.

Phillip has been battling pancreatic cancer since he was diagnosed at the very end of 2022. His journey fighting cancer has been an absolute roller coaster of a ride and he continues to face new challenges. His determination and fight, along with tremendous support from his family and wonderful friends, have truly been amazing. The prayers and visits have truly been uplifting, and continue to be appreciated.

Phillip has been traveling almost weekly since December 2023, to Houston Texas, for medical treatment to MD Anderson Cancer Center. This summer he faced some serious medical challenges that have changed the course of his treatment. He recently suffered a setback and incurred a blood infection in his leg, which forced him to be hospitalized. This setback forced him to discontinue the clinical trial treatment he was participating in at MD Anderson, and now is fighting to regain his strength with hopes to be able to find a treatment, that again, will aid in his fight. He currently has a caregiver, giving him wonderful 24 hour a day support, and this truly has been a blessing, both to Phillip and his family. It has allowed his wife, Diana, to meet the needs of their children much easier, without the fear and worry of neglecting either the children or Phillip.

Phillip’s request for financial support is not made lightly. His priority with any money fundraised would be to cover any expenses incurred for medical support, which would help ensure financial stability for his family, most importantly for his children and their future. Any support is greatly appreciated!
