Support Caleb’s Fight Against Brain Cancer

This is my official donation page to help cover ongoing brain cancer treatment, medications, and essential living costs.

A few moments from this journey

My name is Caleb, and I am facing one of the toughest battles of my life. I have been diagnosed with incurable brain cancer—Glioblastoma/Astrocytoma— which has completely changed my world. Every day brings new challenges, from managing routine medications and constant testing to undergoing treatments that take a toll on my body. The neuropathy affecting the left side of my body has made even simple tasks difficult, and I am now on permanent Social Security Disability due to the severity of my condition.

The financial burden of this diagnosis is overwhelming. Medications, treatments, clinical trials, operations, and insurance costs add up quickly—not to mention the daily living expenses that continue regardless of my health. Despite these hardships, I am determined to make the most of the time I have left and cherish every moment with my loved ones.

Your support means the world to me. Contributions go directly toward my medical care and daily needs, helping to prolong my life and give me more precious time with my family. Thank you all for your kindness, generosity, and encouragement during this incredibly difficult journey. Your help truly makes a difference.

Read More (Survival, Costs, Daily Impact, Treatment, and Support)
1) Average Survival and Life Expectancy
Outcomes can vary widely depending on tumor subtype, grade, molecular markers, age, overall health, and how well treatments are tolerated. Glioblastoma is generally aggressive and fast-growing. Astrocytoma is a broad category that can range from slower-growing forms to more aggressive forms, and outcomes can differ substantially between subtypes.
2) The Often Overwhelming Cost of Cancer Care in The United States
Even with basic insurance, cancer care can create major out-of-pocket costs over time. Common drivers include hospital bills, imaging (MRI/CT), prescriptions, specialist visits, rehabilitation, emergency care, travel to appointments, deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-network charges.
3) How Brain Cancer and Treatments Can Affect Day-to-Day Life
Brain cancer can affect mobility, speech, memory, mood, balance, vision, and energy levels. Treatments can also take a toll—fatigue, nausea, appetite changes, pain, sleep disruption, and cognitive “fog” can make everyday tasks harder.
4) Understanding Treatments and Ongoing Care
Care often involves a combination of approaches such as surgery when possible, radiation, chemotherapy or other medications, symptom management, and ongoing monitoring with imaging. Plans may change based on side effects, new symptoms, or new findings.
5) How Donating Helps and Ways You Can Help Beyond Donating
Donations can help cover medical-related expenses, prescriptions, travel to appointments, and essential living costs. If you can’t donate, sharing this page, sending encouragement, helping with transportation, meals, household tasks, or simply checking in can be meaningful support.
