Phil Zielke fought cancer twice. Going through the disease two times, some moments were blanketed by feelings of hopelessness. But as challenging and dark as these trials were, something hopeful and positive was birthed.

Phil’s Friends supports others through care packages, weekly cards, and prayer because of the support he had received. In June of 2009, Phil left teaching to devote his time fully to building the organization.
