Casey’s Cancer Support

Donation protected
Hello my name is Paula and this fundraiser is to help my good friend and his family at a difficult time. Their story was one I lived 50 years ago and is very personal to me my father was diagnosed when I was just 10 years old. It is hard when your whole world changes in a single second and the collapse of everything the family relied on. 

I am asking for community support to help their family at this time. Casey has cancer no one ever wants to hear those words ever but imagine being a father and a husband with 4 young children. His journey started a week before Thanksgiving he was unable to get comfortable and asked his wife Keisha to take him to the ER of course cancer wasn’t even in their minds he thought it was a kidney stone. That night drug on and eventually a mass was found near his kidney but not attached but it was wrapped around arteries. Biopsies were done which informed them it was testicular cancer and this tumor in his abdomen was a metastasis. He had surgery the next day to remove the primary tumor of the testicle but the independent abdominal tumor could not be removed because it was wrapped around arteries. Next stage was to start chemo which Casey started three weeks ago the first two weeks were rough as chemo isn’t easy but on the third week his blood counts were so low they had to stop chemo. He will need to get bone marrow injections approved through insurance and take a pause to allow his counts to come up some. At this time there is no timeline on recovery and cancer can be very unpredictable which has left the family financially vulnerable.

They have a family of six and they had two incomes but with Casey’s situation they are now down to one income. Even with family and friend support it isn’t going to be enough to keep them from risk of losing everything. So I am sponsoring this gofundme to ask for community support to help them in this crisis. I have put a random number to this fundraising and every bit helps. Without a timeline and with the set backs this could be a long journey. I will keep everyone updated on his progress along this battle but please help me help my friends to try and keep their heads above water during this difficult time.
