Cancer patient needing financial help

Donation protected
On Monday July 29th, our family got news that still seems unreal.  A simple trip to the doctor for a long lasting cough turned into one devastating diagnosis after another.  My cousin Mark, 31, never a  smoker, was diagnosed with cancer of the heart and lungs, with blood clots and lung tissue death, along with other complications. The exact diagnosis is something doctors say they have never seen, and probably never will again. Hearing this would shock and scare anyone but Mark is as positive as ever! He is determined to fight, and that fight has already begun. Our prayers have been answered, and doctors have found a particular treatment of chemo and radiation that Mark has already started and the massive tumors on his heart are already showing signs that treatment is working!
He is a kind and humble man who would give his last dollar to someone in need. And now he humbly asks for help through this time. 
 
We LOVE You Mark! You Got This!

I have been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer that has originated in my heart. Its very rare for the mass to  grow/start there, but it is treatable with chemo and radiation, which I have started already on.  I still have a  long journey  ahead, but I  refuse to give up and will be  out of work because of this, and unfortunately,  bills still need to be  covered, especially the medical expenses from all of the treatments. So I'm  reaching out for help from anyone willing to give anything to assist in taking care of it all. Anything is appreciated, with great compassion and  gratitude, thank you.
