Support Allan's Fight Against Pancreatic Cancer
Donation protected
At the beginning of 2024, a beloved husband, father, and friend, Allan, received the devastating diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer at a younger age. Forced to stop working immediately due to the severity of his illness, Allan has endured countless hospital visits, life-threatening side effects, and two different, grueling types of non-stop chemotherapy over the past 10 months. Despite the chemotherapy, the cancer still progressed, thus the treatment was no longer indicated. This has been the most difficult hardship his family has ever faced that they have been managing to the best of their ability for almost a year.
Currently, Allan has been accepted into a clinical trial in Houston that could give him a fighting chance against this horrible disease. However, this opportunity comes with significant financial challenges. His participation requires frequent trips to Houston, leading to mounting expenses for airfare, lodging, rental cars, and other costs.
Through it all, Allan has remained the same kind, faith-driven, and selfless person we know and love. He has always been the first to extend a helping hand to others in need, no matter the circumstances. Now it’s our turn to show Allan, his wife Desiree, and their children Akeena and Dray that they are not alone.
We are reaching out to you—our family, friends, and community—to help ease the financial burden of this journey. Any donation, no matter the size, will make a great difference.
If you’re unable to donate, your prayers are equally meaningful. Please help us spread the word by sharing Allan’s story with your network. Together, we can lift up Allan and his family with love, hope, and support during this difficult time.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
