Standing in faith with Cade and his family, offering prayer, love, and support as they walk this cancer journey.
Taupo, Waikato
I’m creating this page for my dear friend Cade who is a devoted husband and a loving dad to 2 young girls with another baby on the way.
Cade is known by many for his reliability, generosity, and willingness help. Since sharing his story, so many people have reached out with messages about how he’s helped them over the years, never expecting anything in return.
Just 2 months after Cade and Tersa found out they were expecting their 3rd child, their world was turned upside down. Cade was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and they have since learned it has spread to his lungs and bones.
Even as his health declined, Cade continued pushing through — trying to finish renovations on their home and keep providing for his family. But cancer changes everything. As he now begins treatment, he is no longer able to work. The physical toll is immense, and the financial pressure is growing, all while they care for their young daughters and prepare to welcome a new baby.
This fundraiser is to help ease that burden — covering essential living expenses and giving Cade the space to focus on what truly matters: his health and time with his family.
Sometimes the people who need help the most are the least likely to ask. Cade has always been someone others could rely on — now it’s our turn to stand beside him.
Any donation, no matter how small, will make a real and meaningful difference. If you’re unable to give, sharing this page or keeping Cade and his family in your thoughts and prayers means so much.
Cade is a dear friend of us, and our families are closely connected, which is why supporting him in this season means so much to us.
The funds raised will ease financial pressure by covering basic living costs, travel for treatment, and care for the family during this time.
Update on Cade and his family 19 June 2026
On behalf of Cade and family, we are overjoyed to share the wonderful news that their baby daughter, Abigail, arrived safely on the 16th of June. We are so grateful that Cade could be present for the birth before starting his treatment on the 19th of June.
For those who don't know, Cade will be receiving radioactive iodine treatment and will need to isolate afterwards. Cade will spend the next five days in isolation at the Waikato Hospital in Hamilton – followed by a few weeks additional time in isolation at the cancer lodge.
They would like to sincerely thank everyone who has supported, encouraged, prayed for, and walked alongside them during their ongoing journey. Your kindness, love and support have meant so much to their family.
