Stand With Dave Through Cancer & Crisis

STAGE 3 CANCER & LIVING IN TEMPORARY HOUSING

STAGE 3 CANCER

In December 2024 doctors diagnosed me with Stage 3B cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) of my tongue/throat, with metastasis to 5 lymph nodes.

In March 2025 I started an intensive 7-week medical treatment program:

TEMPORARY HOUSING

I have been very sick, unable to work consistently or at all for several years.

The years of unrelenting stress of helping my ex-wife Talyaa beat her terminal cancers devastated what little health I had left — having suffered decades of mysterious & debilitating health problems.

By December 2024 I could no longer afford to remain in the home I had lived in for 8 years. I had no savings, no income. I briefly moved in with a friend under a trade agreement, but he reneged and forced me out within 3 weeks.

Since then I have been living in temporary housing (Airbnbs), only made possible thanks to donations from this fundraiser.

I need help now to get me through my cancer treatments and back on my feet again.

I am so grateful for your contributions and sharing of my fundraiser!

*** I am available for house/pet sitting in San Diego County (NO charge). This will assist me to get a professional position with “Trusted Housekeepers”, with long-term housing options.***

MY MESSAGE TO YOU

Even in the midst of what I face (terrifying at times and very painful), I am grateful to be alive, often filled with gratitude and awe of the beauty of life! I love connecting with most everyone I meet. This has only been made possible from doing Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work for over 5 years, AND the help of great friends!

Now here I am — having struggled through years and years of doing so much to climb out of the devastating impact of helping Talyaa beat 2 terminal cancers, but it has not been enough!

Now *I* have cancer, am technically houseless, and not sure where I will live a month from now … Whaaaaat?!!

This is NOT me — I am NOT cancer, poverty, or helpless.

I kept thinking I could get through this on my own. Nope...

I NEED help to get through this!

With hugs and love, Dave

HOW I GOT HERE

The years of assisting Talyaa beat impossible odds to survive her cancers took an unimaginable toll on me. Her cancers devastated us both — financially, socially, emotionally, physically, and mentally. It destroyed my health, my business, and our marriage!

When Talyaa left I fell apart. I had already been very sick for several years—9 infections and viruses, and more than 65 medical diagnoses.

It took everything I had to keep going, and I almost didn’t make it.

Then, in early 2024, I noticed new and disturbing symptoms:

•• Sudden low energy

•• Unexplainable pain all over my body

•• Severe insomnia

•• Sinus problems that greatly impaired my breathing and sleep

•• My throat constricted so pills/capsules got trapped

•• Exercise took much longer to recover from

•• Mysterious bruises that took longer to heal

•• Unexplained breathlessness

•• Bleeding in my throat

I didn’t have the energy to work on resurrecting my business, and was far too sick to hold down a job. I sold everything of value I had (a 20 hour/week job in itself).

My symptoms got worse and worse until in December 2024 I finally was forced to move from the house I had lived in for 8 years.

In December 2024 I was finally able to secure medical insurance (Medicaid) and see a doctor who spoke the words no one wants to hear — “You have cancer!”

IN TEMPORARY HOUSING AND IN CANCER TREATMENTS!

Just going through chemo and radiation is extremely difficult — painful, debilitating and scary. On top of the treatments, I have to deal with the massive stress and terror of not knowing where I will live, or if I will even have enough money to secure another month of temporary housing!

I am so GRATEFUL to have been able to pay for some monthly Airbnbs thanks to this fundraiser. THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me!

Proceeds from this fundraiser will assist me to continue to secure temporary housing while I undergo the rest of my cancer treatments, as well as for a needed 3 month recovery period after treatment completion as I get back on my feet!

THANK YOU!!!!
