Help Roger Live His Final Adventures

Meet Roger! Roger is 4 years old, a life long resident of Silverton, Oregon, and a lover of preschool, Paw Patrol, playing in Rock Land, visiting the beach, and everything heavy equipment related. Roger finds fun and joy in doing the everyday things with his family - even a day working in the shop or having family dinner is a favorite day for him! He has an incredible sense of humor; he will say something funny, then watch your face as he awaits your response, and laugh and laugh when you crack a smile. He is silly, loving, playful, wise, and full of love for his family and friends.

And he has stage 4 cancer.

At 3 years old, Roger was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma: a rare, aggressive cancer. He battled hard, endured much, and beat the cancer into remission after nearly a year of difficult treatment. Sadly, after only a few months, the cancer returned with a fury, and despite everything that modern medicine can throw at him and Roger standing brave through great tortures, the cancer continues to progress. The cancer is terminal, and with the support of his oncology team, Roger's family has made the excruciating and loving decision to end treatment and focus on giving him the best, most memorable final days that can be had.

What We’re Raising Funds For:

The funds raised through this campaign will be used to create meaningful memories for Roger in his final days. Our goal is to give Roger the chance to go on exciting trips like a trip to the beach, visiting family out of the immediate area and taking a trip to Great Wolf Lodge. We also want to support Roger’s parents in this incredibly difficult time, helping them focus on what truly matters—being with Roger as he continues to bring joy to their lives. Funds will go toward helping them cover daily expenses, travel costs, and any other needs, so they can concentrate on making every moment count.

Additionally, some of the funds will be used to cover end-of-life services, so Roger’s family can focus on being together, free from worrying about financial burdens.

How You Can Help:

Every donation makes a difference in Roger’s journey. Your generosity will allow us to create beautiful memories, ease the emotional and financial burdens on his family, and give Roger the love-filled days he deserves. It is also the community’s way of coming alongside his parents and saying, “I’m sorry I can’t take this pain away, but we will walk with you.”

If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your network. The more people who know Roger’s story, the more support his family will receive.

Both of Roger’s parents were consulted in the creation of this fundraiser, and greatly appreciate the love and support extended to them by their family, friends, community members and strangers. Allocation of funds will be made by a small group of community members who are working together to ensure Roger has all the support possible in this chapter of his life.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of this special time in Roger’s life. Together, we can help make his final days filled with joy, laughter, and the things that make him happiest.
