Hi,
My name is Yeremiah, and I am humbly reaching out for your support during one of the most challenging times of my life. I was recently diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor that has affected my overall health. My doctors have scheduled me for a Whipple procedure on October 8, 2025, a complex and life-saving surgery that will remove part of my pancreas along with the tumor.
My Story
This diagnosis came suddenly and changed everything for me. I was not financially prepared for the road ahead. The recovery period following this surgery is expected to last up to six months, during which I will be unable to work or cover my basic living expenses.
As someone who has always worked hard to support myself and family, it is difficult to ask for help. But right now, I need to focus on healing and overcoming this illness, and I cannot do it alone.
Why I Am Fundraising
The funds raised will go directly toward:
1. Covering essential living expenses such as rent, utilities, and groceries during recovery
2. Supporting recovery costs, including medications and rehabilitation needs
3. Providing stability so I can heal without the added stress of financial hardship
Funding Goal
My goal is to raise $10,000. This amount will help sustain me through the six-month recovery period and allow me to concentrate fully on regaining my health.
How You Can Help
Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to recovery without the fear of financial instability. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your family, friends, and community would mean the world to me. Together, your kindness and generosity can make a real difference in my journey to healing.
Closing Message
I am deeply grateful for your time, compassion, and support. This battle is not one I can fight on my own, and your encouragement gives me the strength and courage I need as I prepare for surgery and the recovery ahead.
With heartfelt gratitude,
