Phelps Strong - Cancer Care & Canine Companionship

Mike Phelps is a father, a friend, a grandfather, and more—he is an incredible inspiration and a true testament to resilience. Currently battling esophageal cancer, he faces a long journey ahead and needs all the support we can muster.

For updates on his condition, please visit his website and leave your thoughts!

This fundraiser will go towards supporting all of the inevitable and unexpected cost of dealing with cancer. From medical procedures and prescriptions that aren’t covered by insurance, to cost of living adjustments with potential for reduced hours and income, to whatever other curveball comes his way. The costs are already building up and the financial stress that comes along with this diagnosis is, frustratingly, counterproductive to his healing and cancer-fighting ability. With your help, we can alleviate some of that financial weight and allow him to use that energy to focus on his procedures and recovery.

GoFundMe, as a platform, requires a monetary goal to be set. Our actual goal is to provide a virtual “tip jar” for Mike’s incredible network to have a safe place to make monetary donations. We have no expectations of reaching the goal amount, and we are so grateful for every contribution, large or small!

This fundraiser is also important as a means to bring some joy and emotional support into his life. In fact, the initial inspiration to start a crowdfunding support channel was providing Mike with an emotional service animal—a canine companion that he can share his love and affection with.

So, your generous contributions will help Mike find and care for this special dog, as well as covering essentials like leashes, training, and other pet necessities. Additionally, the funds will assist in managing the dog’s ongoing expenses amidst Mike’s ever mounting healthcare costs.

Join us in supporting Mike on this challenging journey. Your kindness and generosity can make a profound difference in his life!
