Our friends and family,

I’m reaching out on behalf of an incredible man, my brother Billy Ray, a devoted husband, a proud father to his son Patrick, and a cherished friend to many. At just 52 years old, Bill is in the final stages of a courageous and exhausting battle with cancer.

For over 3 years, Bill has fought with everything he has—enduring treatments, surgeries, and trips to the hospital—always with strength and grace. Despite the best efforts of his doctors and the endless support from his wife, son and family, the cancer has spread beyond treatment.  Bill is no longer able to work and we are now facing the unimaginable.

This page is not only about raising funds—it's about helping a family who is going through the hardest time of their lives. His wife, MariCarmen, has been by his side every step of the way, juggling the emotional and financial toll of caregiving, parenting, and trying to keep their home steady for their son. The weight is heavy, and they need our help now more than ever.

Your donation will go towards:

• Covering medical expenses and hospice care
• Supporting the family’s basic living needs during this time
• Creating lasting memories with his family
• Preparing for future costs and ensuring his family has support.

Many have asked how to help.  Let’s give back and carry him and his family with compassion, dignity, and care. Bill is a man who has given so much to others—his humor, his strength, and his love.

Any amount you can give, no matter how small, will make a profound difference. If you’re not able to donate, please give a smile by leaving your funniest “Billy Ray” story, sending a message of love, or consider sharing this page. Every gesture means the world right now.

With gratitude and love,

Tim Ray
