Support Chris’s Fight Against Stage IV Cancer
Donation protected
Update: Wow, we can not believe the amount of support received in such a short time. It’s amazing to see and feel the amount of care and love he and our family have received. Thank you all for everything. It means the world. THANK YOU!
Hi, I’m Dylan … and this past December, right before the holidays, we received the awful news no family wants to hear – that my Dad, Chris, was diagnosed with Stage IV Liver and Colon cancer. It has been a tough journey for him and our family, even in these early stages, but he has kept his spirits high and is ready to take on this terrible illness head on.
He has recently started chemotherapy, but due to his company changing insurance providers and it being the beginning of the year, he has a $6,000 deductible before his insurance will cover his treatment. He has already been through so much in a short amount of time – everyday things are tougher to do on his own, including taking care of his dogs (if you know my Dad, you know how much he loves his pups – and it’s been extremely difficult finding them good homes where they will be loved the same). The worry of having these large bills hang over his head is just another stressor that he does not need right now, so we’re asking for your help.
Anything raised over the $6,000 will be used to cover prescriptions, co-pays, gaps in disability insurance, or any other needs that arise.
Anything you can contribute will make a huge difference and means the world to him and our entire family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing by us during this challenging time.
