It takes a village.
Dylan has so much life left to live — and so many memories left to make.
We want every ounce of his strength focused on the good: the healing, the laughter, the moments that matter most.
But the reality? Fighting cancer is expensive.
Living with a terminal illness takes more than bravery — it takes endless energy, endless adaptability, and endless resources. And no matter how determined we are, we can’t do it alone.
Your support helps lighten the load. It means less time spent worrying about bills, medications, travel to treatment and basic living costs — and more time spent living fully, loving fiercely, and pushing forward with hope.
Whether it’s donating, sharing our story, or showing up at a fundraiser — you are a part of our fight.
Thank you for being part of our village.

How Your Support Makes a Difference
Cancer doesn’t just steal health; it hijacks your whole damn life. Bills keep coming, even when your income doesn’t. Cancer doesn’t pause your rent, your groceries, or your insurance. It just demands everything — while giving nothing back.
Every donation helps cover real, tangible things like:
Keeping fresh groceries and high-protein snacks in the house
Refilling alkaline water bottles to help with chemo mouth sores
Covering gas and parking, TTC travel to and from the cancer center and clinic visits
Funding therapies like acupuncture and massage to ease side effects
Paying co-pays for the stack of prescriptions Dylan needs to get through each cycle
Offsetting the crushing weight of rent, utilities, and insurance
Helping cover end-of-life expenses
Providing little moments of normalcy — a puzzle, a movie, a few hours of normalcy

Or if you want to volunteer for events we already have in motion, we’re always grateful for extra hands and big hearts.
