Support Kris's Battle Against Cancer

Dear friends, family, and compassionate individuals,

We are reaching out to you today to share the story of our beloved 15-year-old nephew, Kris, who has recently been diagnosed with stage 2A Hodgkin's Lymphoma. This devastating news has shaken our family to the core, but we remain hopeful and determined to support Kris throughout his treatment journey.

Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a formidable foe, and Kris is about to embark on a challenging road ahead. The first round of treatments will last approximately six weeks and will require extended stays in Madison, Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the long distances between Kris's hometown and the treatment facility necessitate these extended stays to ensure he receives the best care possible.

While Kris's health is our top priority, his family are also faced with unexpected financial burdens that accompany his treatment. This is where we humbly ask for your support. Your generous donations will go directly towards helping Kris's father, Troy, his mother, Shaina, and Kris himself with various expenses that have arisen due to this difficult situation.

Some of the immediate needs include covering travel expenses, which include transportation, accommodation, and meals during their extended stays in Madison. Additionally, there are unforeseen medical bills and supplies that are not fully covered by insurance. Kris's parents, Troy and Shaina, are also facing the challenge of taking extended, unpaid time off work to be by his side during treatment and recovery. Your support will help alleviate the financial strain they are experiencing during this already emotionally trying time.

Moreover, we want to ensure that Kris feels comforted and supported throughout his treatment and recovery. Donations will also contribute towards providing him with essential comfort items that can help make his experience a little easier. From cozy blankets and books to entertainment options and other items that bring joy, every contribution will make a significant impact on Kris's well-being.

No donation is too small, and any support you can provide will mean the world to Kris and our entire family. Your kind generosity will not only provide practical assistance but also serve as a beacon of hope and solidarity during this challenging journey. We believe that together, we can make a difference in Kris's life and help him overcome this formidable battle with Hodgkin's Lymphoma.

Kris is the sweetest human with incredible talents! He is a remarkable artist, and has been visually documenting his experiences through this heartbreaking time. We will share some of his artwork here so you can get a peek into his creative world.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love, support, and generosity. Your contribution, whether financial or through spreading the word, will have a profound impact on Kris's life and the lives of his loved ones. We are eternally grateful for your kindness and compassion during this difficult time.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Amanda, Shaina, Troy, Terri, and Kris
