Help Josh beat Stage 4 B Cell Lymphnoma
Donation protected
In July, the symptoms snuck up on Josh after significant weight loss and intense pain throughout his body. Sunday, September 1st, we received the news of a mass growing in his chest and a potential diagnosis of Lymphoma. On September 9th, the diagnosis was confirmed - Stage 4, non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
The news hit him and our family like a truck, but Josh quickly turned his thoughts to fighting it. The mass in his chest was growing quickly, crushing his airway and heart. Thursday, September 12th, he turned the corner from sickness to remission and began aggressive chemotherapy treatment. Though he is responding well to treatment, he still has a long road ahead of him. His faith and strength, found in the support of those around him, is going to help him with this fight. His illness is preventing him from working and only some of the medical costs will be covered by insurance.
Getting ready to turn 26 in October, Josh is strong and a fighter. One of his friends said, “Sometimes in life you find a special friend, someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. That is who Josh is.” Whether it is on the football field, at work, or at the Day Of Hope or sitting with a homeless person eating a burger together and sharing hope, Josh is truly a special friend and his strength has been a gift of hope to everyone around him.
Our goal is to raise $25,000 to help Josh beat this cancer. We have seen an indescribable outpouring of love for Josh and our family, but we are asking for help to get over the financial mountain that comes with the fight. All funds will be used to cover medical bills, copays, deductibles and natural organic remedies associated with beating cancer. Please help us widen the circle of support by sharing this link on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email, and any other social media platforms. Together we can make ALL the difference. This is a way of showing him he IS NOT ALONE and has your love and support during this journey. Every bit helps and is another step towards victory!
