Help Isaiah Fight Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Isaiah Livingston, a 30-year-old father, is courageously battling Hodgkin's Lymphoma for the second time in a few short years. Recently, he was let go from his job after exhausting his FMLA time, and with medical treatments ongoing, he's been relying on savings, family, and general help from others to make ends meet. Isaiah is the proud father of a 9-month-old son and is doing everything he can to stay strong for his family during this incredibly challenging time. The Livingston's have an extremely positive attitude, and Isaiah's prognosis is currently looking good with a month-long specialized hospital stay in Boise in the works.

To support Isaiah and help relieve some of the financial burden, we’re hosting a Mardi Gras-style Benefit Dinner on March 2nd from 4 PM - 7 PM at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Sandpoint. The event will feature a silent auction with generous donations from local businesses and individuals. All proceeds from the event will go directly to Isaiah and his family.

The menu for the benefit will be: sausage and shrimp jambalaya, salad, baguette, and a Louisiana-style dessert. Beer, wine and soft drinks will be available. Prices will be $20/person, $35/couple, or $50/family.

In addition, the Knights of Columbus will match up to $2,000 in cash donations made during the event. We are incredibly grateful for their support and are hopeful this will help Isaiah stay focused on his recovery, without the added worry of financial strain.

If you're unable to attend the dinner but would still like to help, we encourage you to donate here. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in Isaiah's battle against cancer and help ease the financial burdens as he continues his fight.

Let’s come together as a community to support Isaiah and his family during this difficult time. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.

Update #2-Praise God!

March 4th, 2025

Give thanks and glory to God! I am so very grateful for the support, love, and charity shown by our small community over the past couple of weeks. Thank you so much to each of you who donated, whether money, auction items, or time, no matter the value or amount.

This fundraiser was started with the smallest of seeds, and the entire community jumped on-board with no prompting to make last night, and this campaign, a massive success. God's hands were seen everywhere.

All said and done, including this online campaign and the Knights of Columbus match, our community raised over $22,000 dollars and counting to support Isaiah and his family, an incredible blessing during these trying times.

I will leave this campaign open until Sunday evening, March 9, to allow for auction winners' payments or any additional donations. Please continue to pray for Isaiah and his upcoming treatment in Boise beginning this week. And please take a moment to give thanks to God for this incredible act of charity and community.

All glory and honor is His, now and forever.

Vivat Jesus!
