A fair shot for two little boys

Hello ,

My name is Samuel Jones. My story starts about a month and a half ago. I went into the hospital on our around the 15th of September for congestive heart failure, when they also found a mass on my pancreas which was about 6.5 c m. They kept me in the hospital and ran a battery of test after test, painful biopsy and stents to open up a collapsed bowel duct. It was a lot more serious than any of thought.  I was told that I have 6mnth - 24mnths to live.

I am 52yrs old, a single dad with full custody of two boys 10 & 8. My life has been dedicated to raising them since their mother left 7yrs ago. They are smart, polite, witty, curious, well mannered and deserving of a good life.  I have taught them to understand and implement the theory that a good morning or good day smile is always a welcoming gift that brings good favors. I was a business owner in construction until months prior, I was rendered unable to work because of my diagnosis. I have used all the savings in medical and living expenses while waiting for social security. Now just receiving that, the $825.00 allotted is not much. With life insurance no longer an option due to terminal illness, I have become worried for my children and the process after I am gone.  They are the most precious of babies and deserve a fair shot at life.  I don't know much about this go fund me thing or if it even helps but I do know that there are good people in the world, people who I am sure will hear my story and empathize. The tough times I can get them through, but it is the time when I am gone. I am their protector, their champion, their hero, their everything.  Though their older sister has stepped up to stand by them and care for them, she also has her own and quite a task in front of her. I plead to the public to help me in raising just a bit of what might give that extra help they can draw upon.  Any money raised will help toward funeral arrangements so my children aren't facing that burden during a grieving time and funds for necessities for my boys to start over.  Life has suddenly changed and I appreciate any helping hand in this trying time. 

 

Thank you sincerely,

Dad
