Help Kent Heal From Cancer

Well here I am making a request I never imagined I would be making. I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Sharing this so publicly is not typically who I am but I’m asking for help. The term “fighting cancer” has never resonated with me. Knowing that what we resist persists it’s never made much sense to me to fight anything, much less cancer. I’ve never been in a fight in my life and I’m not looking to start now. I find the energy of the word "fight" to be dissonate. I am, however, focused on healing and creating health for myself. I manifested the cancer, I know I can, with others help, manifest health.

It has taken me a couple of months of sitting here trying to figure out if I really wanted and needed to do a gofundme. I've written and edited this multiple times as being this public and vulnerable isn't a natural way of being. Cancer has been an interesting journey that for me, I think because of my beliefs, has less to do with the physical body and more to do with the emotional and mental bodies. Getting to the point of publishing a gofundme is another element of the mental / emotional journey. The decision is not one that I came to easily.

You sit here trying to figure out what to say that would be inspiring or helpful or explanatory or more vulnerable or less vulnerable or more humble or less humble or……………….. The reality is that there isn't a whole lot to say - the bottom line is this: I've been diagnosed with cancer, it's a major financial hit and I'm asking for help to help me heal.

My body is ill, I am not, for I am not my body. I do, however, need my body to navigate around this physical plain and I’m hoping to do that for a few more years God willing – I’m going to give it my best shot anyway. It looks like the monetary cost of this "health event" is going to be somewhere between 50k and 70k. This includes healthcare costs and loss of income from the time off of work to heal (hopefully just a few weeks). As a single small business owner coming up with that kind of money is a significant challenge. Will you help?

I am lucky as I have insurance, however, it doesn't cover everything. The cost of insurance and max out of pocket costs alone is over 20k, additional non-covered therapies will be around 10k and a few weeks off of work to recover from surgery along with a reduced schedule before and after will likely cost 20 - 30k in revenue. So if I add all that up it's 30+ thousand in healthcare expense and 20 - 30k in lost revenue - Ouch! As a small business owner, I try to plan and prepare for a rainy day but this is hitting like a derechio and I simply wasn't prepared for this type of stormy season.

It would be amazing and beneficial to the outcome, to be able to come through this process of healing without the worry of the financial burden. I would be grateful for any assistance you could offer. No amount is too small. If prayers and good thoughts are what you can offer, thank you, they are just as valued and appreciated as any monetary amount.

Thank you for your consideration. Be well and much love! Namaste!
