Help Andy & Allie Celebrate Love: Wedding & Honeymoon Fund

Our Story

I am Andy’s aunt and I am reaching out with a hopeful heart to support Andy, (a phenomenal 21-year-old who was diagnosed with a terminal diagnosis of Ewing's sarcoma at the age of 17), and his incredible fiancée, Allie. Their journey together has been one of love, resilience, and unwavering support.

Andy and Allie met in high school in 2020, and from the very beginning, their bond has been unbreakable. Through laughter, challenges, and dreams for the future, their love has only grown stronger.

A Life-Changing Diagnosis

In 2021, Andy’s world was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with a terminal diagnosis of Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. Since then, Andy has faced unimaginable challenges: enduring an amputation, countless rounds of radiation, and multiple intensive chemotherapy treatments. Through it all, Allie has been by his side-his rock, his partner, his best friend.

A Change of Plans

Originally, Andy and Allie planned to get married in May 2026, dreaming of a joyful celebration surrounded by friends and family. However, after a recent consultation, Andy’s oncologist advised that they move the wedding date up to make the most of their time together. With heavy hearts but hopeful spirits, Andy and Allie have decided to move their wedding to late September 2025.

Why We’re Asking for Help

The decision to move the wedding date up means there is much less time to plan and save. Medical bills and ongoing treatments have already placed a heavy financial burden on Andy and his family. Now, with the wedding date approaching much sooner, we are asking for your help to give Andy and Allie the wedding and honeymoon they truly deserve. Your support will allow them to focus on each other, celebrate their love, and create joyful memories during this difficult time.

How You Can Help

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Your generosity will help cover:

Wedding expenses (tent, chairs, food, facilities, etc.)

Honeymoon costs (travel, accommodation, special experiences)

Any additional support needed for Andy’s comfort and care during this special time

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign with your friends and family. Your kindness and support mean the world to Andy and Allie.

Thank You

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us give Andy and Allie the celebration of love they deserve. Your support brings hope, joy, and light into their lives.

With gratitude,

Jessica Buchheister/Walgenbach Family
