Chad Cavender, ALS patient
In May 2025, at just 39-years-old, Chad was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease).
Chad is husband to his high school sweetheart, Amy. He is father to Evelyn and Audrey. He is a California Highway Patrolman who has served his community for 12 years.
This family not only needs our prayers but also financial help. Chad is no longer able to work, yet household expenses continue, and the medical costs will just keep coming. Even with insurance, the cost of living with and fighting ALS is enormous.
