Anthony J. Erickson's Medical Bills and Expenses

On November 12th, Anthony's life changed forever. He woke up to something very wrong. He was sick and couldn't speak. Nothing made sense. At the emergency room, after many tests, Anthony was diagnosed with a brain tumor. A biopsy was performed and it was determined to be Glioblastoma cancer. Glioblastoma is a very aggressive, fast progressing brain cancer. Unfortunately it has spread to the meninges and spinal cord. Doctors said they don't typically "stage" or "categorize" this type of cancer but it would be a category/stage 4 and can not be cured or treated with chemotherapy.
Not only does Anthony have substantial medical bills and living expenses, he and his long-time girlfriend Anastasia Hamilton, have made a bucket list of things they would like to do together to make the most of an unfortunate situation.
I, along with other family members, would like to relieve the stress of their medical bills and living expenses and enable them to complete as many things on their bucket list as possible.
Just some of their bucket list things include:
•Go to botanical gardens
•Get a massage and/or a facial
•Try aromatherapy
•Visit a small coffee shop and then go dog sledding
•Visit the aquariums
•Visit a planetarium and see the stars
•Record Stasia's makeup process with Anthony doing a voice tutorial
• Drive through a Christmas light show
•Have a romantic date night at home; matching pajamas, make a dessert together listening to some vinyl records and eat it by candlelight, then watch a romcom
•Build and paint a piece of furniture
•Take a tai chi class or meditation class
•Watch the sunrise and the sunset in the same day
•Make a hand holding mould for an artistic statue
•Visit museums
•Take guitar lessons
•Make a charcuterie board together to eat while building a puzzle
•Practice origami
•Journal or scrapbook about favorite memories, random life stories, hobbies, travel history, etc.
•Make tie blankets for family and friends for Christmas
•Go to an art gallery
•Name a star and frame a photo of it
•Relive childhood for a day; Build a bear workshop and record an audio to put inside a bear, build a Lego project, watch favorite kids movie or a new one, have favorite childhood drinks and snacks
•Get a camera and start taking photographs of things like nature, architecture, portraits, close ups, etc., then scrapbook them

All funds will go directly to Anthony and Anastasia, who are located near Minneapolis, MN.
