Wayne's Warrior Fund- Beating Stage 4 Cancer

Wayne Hillbish, a loving husband, stepdad to Will, and friend, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer. Wayne's amazing wife and soul mate of 17 years, Tracy has been his rock through the diagnosis. This incredible couple is known for their warmth and compassion, and they now face a battle that no one should have to fight alone. If you've ever met them, you know their love shines brightly through every interaction, uplifting those around them. Let's rally together to ensure they have the support they need through this devastating time. Our goal is to help ease this burden by raising $50,000 to cover necessary expenses.

The Journey Ahead:

The cancer has metastasized to Wayne's liver. He will undergo surgery to create a loop ostomy, a necessary step to prepare him for chemotherapy. Wayne is undergoing surgery on March 26th and, if successful, is a candidate for chemotherapy. This treatment is crucial to start right away. Updates will be posted to follow Wayne's journey of strength and healing.

The Challenge:

These critical treatments will take a toll, forcing him to take time away from work. Unfortunately, Wayne doesn't have disability insurance, and his recovery will likely prevent him from working for an extended period. This creates a financial strain on top of the emotional hardship.

Did you Know:

$8k-$10k - The average Chemo treatment PER session!

$3k is the average cost PER hospital stay PER Day!

$42k is the average cost of medical bills in a cancer diagnosis (not including living expenses and loss of wages)
