Support for the Burris Family
Donation protected
After a four-year battle with Non-Hodgkin's Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma, Alex is at peace and ready to be healed and whole with Jesus. Not for lack of fight, Alex has persevered through countless therapies and treatments on the road to being cancer-free, with the most recent being two allogeneic stem cell transplants in the last six months. He never walked this road alone and was constantly surrounded and supported by family, framily, friends, and strangers from across the world.
Alex recently asked for hospice to be called in, as new complications arose that were insurmountable after all he has been through. Since that moment, he's been surrounded by his family, who have been praying for him and with him without ceasing. Not only was Alex a vibrant man, but he was also a son, brother, loving husband and father, and a friend to anyone he met.
Summer and their two sons, Ethan and Will, have been at his side through every moment of the last four years, including extended trips to Houston, Kansas City, and Little Rock for various treatments. Now it is our turn to support them as they navigate life without Alex. This fundraiser is to provide support for Summer, Ethan, and Will, and the proceeds from this fund will go directly to Summer to use for living expenses and the boy's educations. Any contribution will mean the world to Summer and Alex, who'd never ask for the support, but they need it now more than ever. Thank you for your generosity!
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV
