Support for John Pilchowski and his family.

Friends, family, and even caring strangers.

Unfortunately, I am here reaching out to you once again as John bravely battles the final stages of his terminal cancer. We were beyond humbled by the overwhelming support received during his challenging treatment phase, and now, the family is at another impossible time of need. The funds raised during the treatment phase helped them tremendously, allowing them to focus on his well-being and trying to get better without the added burden of financial stress. They are forever grateful for your kindness and generosity during that time.

Thank you not just to everyone who donated, but to everyone who mailed a card, dropped off some dinner or some epic balloons, sent a text, or even said a prayer. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the reason their family has been able to stay afloat after 8 months of this nightmare.

Before getting his diagnosis and starting this journey, John had always been the primary earner for his family. Early on choosing to take on parenthood on his sole income, they sacrificed to allow for Nicole to stay at home with the Children for 11 years. Nicole now works as a PARA educator for the special education department at her school. And, while this profession brings her joy and fulfillment, it does leave a huge gap financially for their family with the loss of Johns's income.

And so, another huge ask again from all of you. All of you who have already done so much for the family. This ask is not just financial assistance but peace of mind for John as this is weighing on him above anything else. This ask is helping John and Nicole use this time to live these days without the stress of their finances making their decisions. This contribution, no matter how small, will make an enormous difference. It will help alleviate the financial strain on their family, ensuring that they can provide the best possible future.

Thank you all so much for your generosity, and your love.
