<div>My name is Fred Gause, Sr.  Throughout my career, I always looked for ways to help others in need. Whether it was providing someone in need with a job so that they could earn income or providing food to the hungry, I always had a charitable heart to extend a helping hand to someone in need. Now that I am ill, I find that I am the one in need of a helping hand.

<div>I started feeling ill in June of 2025. After several doctors' appointments and medical tests, <strong>I was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer in August 2025</strong>. As a result of this illness, I have been unable to work since June.

<div>I was a self-employed entrepreneur for over 45 years working in the field of construction. I had no real intentions of stopping work because I love to build things, as well as staying busy. However, due to this illness, medications, medical appointments, radiation, chemotherapy, and other medical procedures, I am no longer able to work. As a result, this has caused a financial and emotional hardship for me and my family.  That is why I decided to set up this GoFundMe campaign. <strong>Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated</strong>.

<div>Donations will be used to help cover my medical costs, travel expenses, and monthly bills. My family and I would like to express our gratitude towards all who donate, and it is with grateful hearts that we say, thank you.
