Support Dave Wonder's Battle Against Brain Cancer

Donation protected
Supporting Dave Wonder in his fight against brain cancer

If you know Dave, chances are you have a story about how Dave made your day. Because that’s what Dave does. And there could be no greater time than this moment to shower Dave and his family with your “Dave stories”, your words of encouragement, and your fervent prayers.

Word travels fast, but for those who are just learning of how life hit the Wonder Family hard this past month, let’s back up.

Dave collapsed suddenly while teaching in late September. We’ll not get into all the details that followed and leave that to his family to share, but ultimately, the doctors found that Dave is now fighting an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Dave is a fighter. He is recently home from the ICU and is staying with Lisa and their two kids, Grace (15) and Brooks (13), at his in-laws’ accessible home. He will soon embark on a long course of intensive chemo and radiation. We believe in a Mighty God and ask for your continued prayers for complete healing by the Father’s hand.

Many are asking to help or somehow contribute in some small way to show their care. While the Wonder Family only requests prayers for complete healing, they are also deeply thankful to all those who have so generously asked to show their love for Dave by bringing meals and supporting their family with financial gifts.

This page was created to centralize access to those gifts and give all those who love Dave and Lisa an easy way to give. If you feel so led, let’s continue to shower them with prayers and support as they navigate the days to come.

Ways your funds will support the Wonder Family:
  • Medical expenses extending beyond medical insurance coverage
  • Travel and transportation during medical treatment in Chicago
  • Quality care for Dave
  • Sudden life and career changes
When you submit your donation, leave an encouraging message or story for Lisa to read to Dave in the “Comments” section (accessed through your donation receipt; just know these comments are visible to the public.) All donations go directly to Dave and Lisa Wonder (minus a 2.9% credit card fee and $0.30 GoFundMe transaction fee). The Wonders have direct access to all funds and are managing the transfer of all funds through a beneficiary account.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers! If you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly. We are a family friend of the Wonders and have been given permission to share this page on behalf of all those friends who have been asking to help them in some way.
