Carl has been diagnosed with Stage 3 pancreatic cancer. We are coming together to support him, his wife Tania, and their family with love, prayer, and practical help.
Carl and his family have already endured profound loss. His first wife, Kathy, passed away at 44 after a courageous 15 year battle with T cell lymphoma, leaving Carl to raise their children, Nicole and Matthew. Years later, Nicole passed away from breast cancer at just 33, leaving Carl to grieve not only his wife, but also his daughter.
Today, Tania stands beside Carl as he faces his own cancer diagnosis. He remains a devoted father to Matthew and a cherished Papa B to his grandsons, Dax and Maverick. Their love, and the memories of Kathy and Nicole, mean so much as he faces the road ahead.
Carl has friends and family scattered across two countries. Not everyone can be there in person, and this fundraiser is just one way we can connect and offer support from wherever we are. Through a donation, a message, a phone call, or prayer, each of us can remind Carl and his family that they are not alone.
Our faith is at the heart of this effort. We believe God works through the compassion, generosity, and prayers of others. By helping carry this family's burdens, we hope to share Christ's love in a meaningful and practical way.
Contributions can help ease the financial pressures of medical expenses, travel for treatment, everyday living costs, and other needs that may arise. Our hope is to give Carl and Tania more room to focus on his care and their time together.
If you cannot give financially, your support still matters. Please pray for Carl's healing, strength and peace for Tania, Matthew, Dax, Maverick, and their extended family, and wisdom for his medical team. A message of encouragement or sharing this campaign is another way to help.
We do not know what the road ahead holds, but we trust in God's grace and the strength of a community that cares. Thank you for helping Carl and his family feel supported, near and far. May God bless you for your kindness and generosity.
Fear not, for I am with you;
be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you, I will help you,
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)
