Justaes Mark Richards Memorial Cancer Foundation

Justaes Richards passed on Thursday, May 30 at about 9:30 PM. He bravely faught to survive a rare CANCER called SARCOMA. May his beautiful soul rest in peace. It's his wish for his body to be cremated and the ashes brought to Ghana so the family can have closure. He wants his ashes to be spread in the sea before his family and friends. However, the cost to the family to cremate the body and the associated ceremony in the UK is about 4000 pounds. The family has already spent everything they have plus the initial contributions from friends and family. Therefore, we are sincerely asking friends, family and sympathizers for contributions to pay for Justaes' cremation and funeral expenses. Justaes Richards came to the US to study and play soccer at Coastal Bend College, a Community College in Beeville, Texas. He even came to stay a while with me and my family in Frederick, Maryland before he went to college. While in college, he suffered a soccer injury which later became a cracked rib injury. He left Coastal Bend and went back to UK to continue his therapy. His cracked ribs were healed but his pains continued. And it got worse. So after so many hospital visits and tests the doctors discovered that he has rare CANCER called SARCOMA. The technical name is Metastatic Epithelioid Haemangio Endothelioma. "It is not operable because of the location of the tumor, unfortunately. He will start receiving strong chemotherapy from Friday 18.1.2019. But we're unsure if thistreatment will help him. The Orthodox medicine has reached its limits it seems at the moment.Since his immune system is weak the family is planing to add holistic treatment as well." , said Helen Richards, his mom. You can imagine how devastating it is for him and his family and friends. His whole family are living in Ghana now so his father Mr. Paul Richards left the rest of the family to go and look after Him in UK. Since his father Paul left their business in Ghana to go and take care of him their financial resources have been severely depleted and Justaes' medical bills are still piling up as well. And now he is passed so the family needs help with the funeral and cremation expenses.
