GoFundMe created for retired San Luis, Arizona police chief battling cancer

SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) - A GoFundMe has been created for retired San Luis Police Department (SLPD) Chief Rich Jessup.

Jessup, who retired from SLPD back in 2023, is battling Stage IV cancer, which the GoFundMe says has brought "many unexpected challenges, both emotionally and financially," to his family.

"As we navigate this difficult journey together, the costs of medical care, travel for treatments, and daily living expenses have quickly added up," the organizer of the GoFundMe says. "Every contribution, no matter the size, will help ease the stress and allow our adored Papa/Dad/Husband to focus on his health and time with loved ones."

The GoFundMe has a goal of $11,000, with nearly $8,100 raised so far. If anyone would like to donate to the GoFundMe, click here.
