Medical And Travel Expenses

Donation protected

As you all know, our friend Walker and his family have been through quite the ringer the last 2 weeks. On July 27th, 2018 while accompanied by his mother, Walker flew to Chicago to have a follow up upper endoscopy to a previous stomach surgery from last year.  During the EGD, his surgeon found tumors pertaining to gastric cancer located on the gastrointestinal tract along the submucosa. The main tumor was immediately biopsied as well as part of his esophagus, and tissue located near his pancreas to see if there was any concern of the gastric cancer spreading.  After the pathology reports came back the following Tuesday, Walker, his mother, and their team of doctors quickly put together a treatment plan to remove the tumors as quickly as possible and come up with a long term plan moving forward to ensure this was being handled properly and promptly.   On August 7th, 2018 Walker underwent stomach surgery to remove the 3 tumors and a small piece of his stomach was removed in an effort to completely remove any carcinomas and thus reduce the rate of them spreading throughout his organs or to his lymph-nodes. They are sending off these 3 tumors for pathology as well and he should have the results in a week based on what I was told from his mother.  As you can imagine along with this heartbreaking news, has come a lot of anxiety, stress, and a huge financial crisis.  As someone who has experienced my fair share of health issues and the expense of surgeries, I know first hand how stressful these times can be. It is impossible not to be worrying about all the bills piling up or what is to come when instead you need to be trying to focus on getting better. Walker's mother single-handedly took the burden of arranging flights, hotels, rental cars, hospital visits, etc all while taking a leave of absence to be with him in his time of need. She has been an ALL-STAR this entire time and I want to do everything I can to help her.  I am making this GoFundMe in hopes to raise anything we can as friends of Walker to help cover some of these expenses for his family before medical bills and every day life expenses continue to pile up.  Anyone who knows Walker or his mother they would be the first people to help anyone anyone in need.  Please don't hesitate to contribute ANY amount as I know any and every amount be so appreciated. 

Thank you for all of your help.

Get well soon Walker!

We love you and are rooting for you!!   -Mo
