Austin's Battle: Cancer and Financial Strain
Donation protected
May 23rd 2024 our entire world changed. Our Austin was diagnosed with a rare form of stomach cancer abdominal carcinomatosis . So rare that after months of doctor visits, several specialists, chemo and surgeries nothing has worked.
This bright 22 year old takes every single day like a champion. Smiles, laughs, and tries to stay as positive as possible.
Recently his doctors have noticed that the cancer has spread to a majority of his abdomen to the point that no surgery is possible. With this devastating update his team of doctors have given the undesirable decision to send Austin home on Hospice and palliative care to spend the time with us. At this point we just want to love and be with him. We are asking for some help from our friends, family and strangers to help us get through the hardest of times. Our family has struggled during this time to give our all to Austin. Amber, Austin's Mother had to leave her job to take round the clock care of him. Leaving Paulie, Austin's Dad to provide. As we all know in this day and age its almost impossible to support a family of five on only one income. That is why we are here. With medical bills coming in like a flood gate, the day to day bills keep getting pushed and deferred, mortgage, vehicles, groceries, medications and unfortunately the looming funeral costs we need help. Anything helps! As we are so grateful for anything. Thank you for listening to Austin's story and any support given.
