Help Me Save My Husband

Donation protected

Hello everybody, I'm on this platform asking for help from the community during mine and my family's most desperate time. My husband of 40 years was recently re-diagnosed with cancer, and with COVID-19 still posing a large threat, the path to recovery is complicated and fragile.  If we don't receive financial support during this time, I will have to choose between giving my partner the best chance at survival or putting food on the table and keeping a roof over our heads.

He was first diagnosed with cancer in 2014 after a serious car accident lead to his doctors making the discovery. It was Colon Cancer, and from the looks of it, it had been developing for 8 years. Our prospects were grim, but my husband was brave, and after the removal of a large portion of intestine and many aggressive sessions of chemo and radio therapy, he was in remission. We couldn't have been happier. 

We were blessed with a year of peace. He had his health, but in 2016, things took a turn for the worse. The cancer had metastasized into his lymph nodes, and he was now diagnosed with terminal Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. He was given two years and was essentially told to go home and enjoy the rest of his life. I was heartbroken. I struggled to imagine a life without my partner. This was the man I had spent a lifetime with, and after everything we'd been through, to lose him like this felt like some sick joke. 

Even still, we kept our faith. We put his future in God's hands, and He delivered.
Almost at the two year mark, we went in for one of his routine blood tests, and the results shocked us. 

His cancer had practically vanished. He was effectively in remission. This completely baffled his medical team, and to this day his doctors and our family have written this off as a miracle. 

So here we are. It's 2020, and we're in the middle of a global pandemic, a great economic crisis, and many other devastating societal events. Nearly everyone is struggling in a unique way, and for our family, along with unemployment and isolation, we are once again facing cancer. In the moment you are reading this, my husband's lungs are riddled with dozens tumors and a substantial tumor in his Vena Cava. He has a chance, but we have to be precise with our execution, which includes us both remaining quarantined for the duration of his chemotherapy — 6 months, potentially longer. 

If we don't receive financial support, I'll have to find work and run the high risk of infecting my husband with COVID-19. The chemotherapy will destroy his immune system, and if I expose him, it would result in his death.

I want my partner alive. Like many, we have dreams of retiring and reaching old age together. I imagine us, wrinkled and a little tired, but full of love and peace. Help us realize our dreams. Help me save my husband. Consider donating whatever you can. Consider sharing this post with your friends and family, and please keep us in your prayers.
