​In late December 2020, after a persistent cough and a swollen neck, Patrick “Pat” Cortright went to visit his doctor. A referral was made and a biopsy performed revealing cancer. The family currently awaits final pathology and results from further testing to determine the type and stage of Pat’s cancer. Right now, many questions remain.

What we do know is the Cortright family’s cancer journey is just beginning. God is in control and the Cortrights' family, friends and colleagues want to offer their support.

Because we are in the midst of a global pandemic and the Cortrights want to assure Pat remains strong throughout his cancer treatment, the Cortright Family Fund has been created to provide those wanting to help with a vehicle to do so. All donations will be tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law. 100% of funds received will be directed to provide meaningful tangible support for the Cortright family throughout the duration of Pat’s cancer care. Such tangible support may include fresh grocery and meal delivery, housekeeping services as well as gift cards for parking, gas and tolls if necessary.

A Shelter for Cancer Families’ goal is to provide meaningful support so that the Cortrights may focus their time and energy on spending quality time together and healing. Thank you for your support of our dear friend Patrick “Pat” Cortright, his loving wife Kristen and their two beautiful children Elijah and Jillian. Their family wishes to thank you in advance for your support and prayers and give thanks to God for making their journey to restored health possible.
