I got a call that changed everything. Kenzie, my fierce warrior and partner in life, had been diagnosed with an incredibly rare cancer—a diagnosis so rare it ranks just below two percent of all cancers worldwide. Peritoneal Mesothelioma had somehow snuck into our lives on her 22nd birthday. The news hit us like a ton of bricks, but we were determined to fight, no matter the odds.

The road has been long and arduous for Kenzie, as she’s undergone numerous tests and treatments. But through every step of this harrowing journey, her strength and resilience have shone bright, even when facing some of the toughest medical challenges imaginable. The cancer has spread to various parts of Kenzies abdomen—her colon, both ovaries, uterus, spleen, gallbladder, appendix, and omentum are all impacted. It’s a relentless battle that she takes on with grace and courage every day.

The financial burden is another fierce opponent we must face together. She is unable to work due to her condition, and I had to quit my job to support my wife and 1 year old daughter Wrenley—leaving our family without one crucial income stream. We now find ourselves in Arizona, far from the comfort of family back home, with no safety net or means to cover the cost of this life-saving surgery and recovery process.

We’re raising funds for Kenzie’s treatment because we believe every moment counts—for her, our daughter Wrenley, and all those who love them deeply. It's about hope, resilience, and fighting against a battle that could otherwise seem insurmountable. This is more than just numbers on a page; it's the difference between life-saving care or heartbreaking devastation for Kenzie and our family.

Your support can help us get to Minnesota for the necessary HIPEC surgery—a last line of defense in her fight against cancer. It’s about being there, physically present with those who love her most during one of the darkest hours of their lives. We need your kindness, compassion, and solidarity now more than ever as we navigate this treacherous terrain together.

Together, let's rally around Kenzie—our beacon of light through these storms. Your donation could mean the world to us, helping ensure that she has every chance possible at recovery and beating this insidious disease once and for all. Let’s unite in love and solidarity as we march onward towards a brighter future for her and our daughter Wrenley.

With deepest gratitude,
