As old, so young, the cancer fight has begun.

How do you survive when you have stage IV lung cancer? And by survival I mean everyday life. This fundraiser is to help me purchase food, gas, rent, utilities, and everything else a job would provide.

Wait for the state: they'll put food on your plate.... That's a great debate about the government gate-keeping necessary help to those in need. What's the hold up?

I'm a 51-year-old punk rocker and still mad about what Ronald Reagan's presidency did to the social safety net. Now I'm the one that needs critical help, with no savings, no insurance, and hopefully enough street-cred that the homies on top can look out for the downtrodden. If I stood on the street corner with a cardboard sign it would read, "Cancer will Fuck you as the state denies you."

Thank you, old friends. The support is uplifting and I feel the love. You beautiful people rock!
