PLEASE HELP ME HELP MY FAMILY!!!!
What makes us different from anyone else requesting funds?? That I cannot answer but I have to try everything to save my family, so I pray that maybe while you decide on where you would like to donate or who to assist that you look at - Blake Squires, my very precious nephew and my very desperate family. The smallest amount I promise will help.
Blake was diagnosed with testicular cancer on the 1st June 2016, at the very tender age of 23 years. I had never heard of this type of cancer, only to learn it is prevalent in young men aged from 14 - 35 years. The news was shocking. We are all devastated, as you never expect it to happen to your children or your family it was alway other people. Now we are the other people!!!
Blake's doctor sent him in to Port Elizabeth for tests after he was complaining of backache and severe stomach ache the week before. After numerous blood test and scans they found a small lesion in one testicle and many more lesions in his intestines.
Blake was scheduled for 18 weeks of intensive chemotherapy. The good news then, was that the doctors said he should make a full recovery. Sadly half way through the treatment (Yesterday 15/08/2016) and a few more tests, Blake was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer which has spread to his lungs.
We as a family have hit a critical patch and urgently need to raise funds for Blake's continued treatment, and general costs surrounding his treatment. Blake is on medical aid but they will not cover all the expenses and extra hidden expenses. Blakes girlfriend or his mom or dad travel daily almost two hours to the nearest oncology hospital, so he can have his chemotherapy which lasts for 6 hours, then they drive back. This happens every day for five days - then off a week. The fuel costs alone are killing them let alone basic medications etc.
My brother and sister-in-law have fought and tried so hard and have come to their end, they have sold off everything, lost their very productive business and stand to loose their farm and have nowhere to turn. I humbly beg from the bottom of my heart that any form of assitance will help. Just SHARING this site will help.
I am based in Cape Town, South Africa and they are almost 1000km's away, I am organizing fundraising for them from all avenues. Please share this and please know that every cent will help at this critical stage.
I make a promise to each and everyone that I will pay it forward....... when Blake recovers. xxxxxx I humbly thank you.
