Support Eric's Fight Against Glioblastoma

Donation protected
On August, 2nd 2024 Eric and Kelly received devastating news that forever changed their lives. Over the Summer, Eric experienced an ongoing escalation of symptoms that made Eric’s day-to-day life unbelievably challenging. The cause wasn’t clear, but the severity of the symptoms, discomfort, and pain was undeniable. Eric was admitted to the Emergency Room where they discovered multiple brain tumors. The location of Eric’s tumors makes them too risky to operate on, as it poses other major health risks. Words cannot describe the emotions of this revelation.

Now, nearly a month after the initial ER visit, numerous procedures to biopsy, install a shunt in his brain, administer chemotherapy, and aspirate the tumor he has been diagnosed with Glioblastoma, an aggressive cancerous brain tumor. As you can imagine, just reaching this diagnosis has been an unbelievably stressful, emotional, and physically painful journey for Eric and his family.

Eric and Kelly are blessed with two beautiful children, Nolan (5 years old) and Maeve (3 years old). Their life as they knew it has been completely altered and now their sole focus is to care for their children while they navigate the difficult road ahead. Eric’s treatment and recovery will be an unbelievable hurdle, both financially, physically, and emotionally. To focus on Eric’s health and the kid’s well-being, Kelly will need to take a significant amount of time off from work. This puts enormous financial strain on their family.

Let’s help Eric and Kelly focus on the challenging road ahead by removing the financial burden from this incredibly unfortunate situation. Your donations will go towards covering Eric’s medical expenses and essential living costs for their family. Although we remain optimistic and hopeful of Eric's full recovery, there are still many unknowns. It has been Eric's dream to take his kids to Disneyland so let's help that dream come true. A portion of the donations will be used to create this family memory.

All your thoughts, prayers and donations are greatly appreciated. We want to thank the outpouring of love and support from friends and family so far. We love and appreciate you all so much.
