Support Rick’s Battle with Cancer

Help Rick fight!

My brother-in-law 

Rick has been diagnosed with metastatic pancreatic cancer and his family needs our help to cover their expenses and medical bills while Margo is out of work caring for Rick.

Rick’s cancer is very aggressive and while his treatment at Yale has already started, this will be a long, expensive journey. Most of you know that Rick has been Sebastian’s full-time caregiver since he was diagnosed with a rare syndrome when he was 4 years old. Sebastian attends school virtually from home due to his medical issues, and Niko is homeschooled. Rick manages their home and cooks meals and is home with Niko and Sebastian while Margo works.

Rick’s illness has caused Margo to have to take time off work and for both Rick and Sebastian’s care to fall on her. Their already complicated situation has been made so much more difficult.

Everything you donate will go directly to Rick’s medical treatments, medications, and keeping up with essential living expenses so the family can focus on Rick’s care and well-being as he fights this battle. Every bit of support we can give them will be life-changing during this unimaginable time. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity. Please help us spread the word by sharing this page—together, we can help a family that is so deserving of it.

Tranding Fundraisers

I’ve created this fundraiser on behalf of my dear friends, Sarah and James, who are enduring every parent’s worst nightmare — the loss of their beloved son, Leo.

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.

Hi everyone — Angela here, writing on behalf of Matthew (for now). On December 6th, completely out of the blue, Matthew suffered a severe stroke.
