  • Wayland in recovery!

    Wayland's surgery was a success! All cancerous cells were removed and he's now in recovery. He'll spend 1-2 weeks in Houston before heading back home to Arkansas to continue recovery & physical therapy. Thank you again to everyone for their continued support. ❤︎


About this fundraiser

As many of you know, Wayland is currently battling stage IV oral cancer. His treatment plan includes both chemotherapy and surgery, and he is unable to work during this time. Tena has significantly reduced her hours to care for him, and their out-of-network surgical costs are increasing quickly.

If you are able to contribute toward the cost of his care, your support would mean the world to our family. Every donation, big or small, helps lighten their burden during an incredibly difficult season.
