💙 HELP AUSTIN HELP CANCER FAMILIES 💙
At just 11 years old, Austin has experienced more loss than most people should ever have to face.
On June 27, 2023, one of Austin’s brothers was tragically hit and killed by a vehicle.
Then in January 2024, Austin’s dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 small cell carcinoma. After a short battle with cancer, his dad passed away on May 11, 2024.
Just a few weeks later, on June 5, 2024, Austin also lost his grandmother.
Each of those losses was incredibly hard, but losing his dad left a tremendous hole in his heart.
Instead of allowing that pain to define him, Austin decided to turn it into compassion.
This summer, he began raising money to purchase $25 gas cards for cancer patients receiving treatment at ECU Cancer Care Center—the same place his dad received treatment before he passed away.
His goal is simple:
Help take one small burden off families who are already going through one of the hardest seasons of their lives.
We want to help him take that mission even further. 💙

DONATIONS ARE ABSOLUTELY WELCOME TOO. 💙

Every $25 raised can become another gas card Austin can place into the hands of a cancer patient or family traveling back and forth for treatment.
🎯 OUR GOAL: 50 GAS CARDS
That would mean helping 50 different families with one small expense during an incredibly difficult time.
And all of this started because an 11-year-old boy who had every reason to focus on his own pain decided he wanted to help somebody else.
You don’t have to spend a lot to be part of this.
$5 helps.
$20 helps.
A direct donation helps.

When enough people each do something small, together we can do something pretty incredible.
