Meet Steve Moor

In August 2021, Nicole Moor's husband Steve was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A lifelong firefighter, Steve was unable to continue working while undergoing treatment. He took what he thought would be a six-month leave of absence. After chemo, Steve underwent a Whipple procedure in February 2022, which resulted in numerous complications.

As a result, Steve was hospitalized for 21 days and returned home to Occupational & Physical therapy, in addition to needing a home nurse three times per week. His return to work was delayed indefinitely, and medical costs continued to rise.

In March of 2022, Fund a Life awarded Steve and Nicole a much-needed grant of $5,000.

Devastatingly, Steve's cancer returned in August 2022, exactly one year after his first diagnosis. It progressed rapidly, and Steve passed away on October 5, 2022.

"I can't tell you how grateful we were. Fund a Life helped us pay off Steve's car, and pay for those in-home visits from our nurse. I can't tell you how much that meant to us and what a weight that took off our shoulders.

It was such a blessing to focus more on Steve and his healing rather than trying to figure out how we were going to pay some of those bills.”
