Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
My name is Richard, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to share the unimaginable journey my precious daughter, Brooke, is enduring. Brooke is only six years old, a bright, bubbly soul who loves painting rainbows, giggling at silly animal videos, and dreaming of becoming an astronaut to “touch the stars.” But today, instead of chasing her dreams, she’s fighting for her life against stage 4 cancer.
When we first heard the diagnosis, it felt like the ground vanished beneath us. Brooke’s vibrant energy began to fade as doctor’s visits, treatments, and hospital stays became our new reality. Stage 4 cancer is a merciless enemy, spreading aggressively and demanding intensive care that stretches far beyond what any parent could prepare for. Watching my little girl endure painful treatments with her unwavering courage breaks my heart, yet her smile—somehow still shining through the pain—gives me hope to keep fighting alongside her.
As a single father, I’ve poured everything into Brooke’s care, but the mounting medical bills, specialized treatments, and daily expenses are overwhelming. Insurance covers only a fraction of what’s needed, and I’ve exhausted every resource to keep her treatment going. That’s why I’m turning to you, with tears in my eyes, to ask for help. Your support through this fundraiser campaign could mean the difference between life and loss for my little girl.
Every dollar you give will go directly to Brooke’s medical care—chemotherapy, hospital stays, medications, and potential experimental treatments that could offer her a chance at survival. Your generosity could also ease the burden of travel costs to specialized clinics and allow me to stay by her side without the constant fear of financial ruin. Most importantly, it will give Brooke more moments to laugh, to dream, and to feel the love of a community rallying around her.
Brooke doesn’t deserve this battle, but she faces it with a strength that inspires me every day. I’m begging you to join us in this fight. Your donation, no matter how small, could help save my daughter’s life. If you can’t contribute financially, please share Brooke’s story and keep her in your thoughts or prayers. Every act of kindness brings us closer to giving Brooke the future she deserves—a chance to grow up, chase her dreams, and light up the world with her beautiful spirit.
From the bottom of my broken but hopeful heart, thank you for reading, for caring, and for helping us hold on to hope.
With gratitude and love,
Richard, Brooke’s Dad
