Help Me Fight Cancer and Finish My First Book

Hi, my name is Aaron Lockhart.

On August 30th, 2025, my life was turned upside down. I was diagnosed with stomach cancer and hospitalized from August 30th to September 17th.

This journey has been incredibly difficult. The treatment has taken a heavy toll on my body, and I've lost a significant amount of weight and energy. It's especially hard because I'm in the middle of writing my first book, a project I've poured my heart into. Now, my focus has shifted from writing to fighting for my health.

While I've been approved for FMLA, I can't work right now. This is where I need your help. I'm asking for support to stay afloat while I focus on getting better. The funds raised will go directly toward:

• Medical costs: Covering co-pays for my medications and ongoing treatments.

• Food and nutrition: Ensuring I can afford the food I need to regain my strength and energy.

• Daily living expenses: Helping with everyday bills like rent, utilities, and other essential needs while I'm unable to work.

Medication costs: $2,000

Food costs: $200

Everyday needs/bills: List out your essential monthly expenses. This could include help with the book I'm writing expenses: $500

Rent: $1,100

Utilities (electricity, gas, internet): $220

Phone bill: $120

Transportation costs (gas, public transit): $75

Every donation, no matter the size, will help me get one step closer to recovery and, eventually, back to the work I love—both my job and finishing my book.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Your support means the world to me. Please consider helping me help myself.
