I am starting this fund on behalf of my best friend and his partner.

Cammeron Donnelly has probably come into your life by giving you a tattoo or making you laugh with his quick wit. He’s been a part of the tattoo world for 20 years but that has come to an unexpected, abrupt, and permanent end.

Cammeron has an inoperable 1-inch brain tumor on his brain stem. It is fatal but the neurosurgeon hasn’t given him a definitive end-of-life expectancy. Typically it’s a few weeks to 2 years.

To give a backstory, Cammeron started having numbness in his face in January 2023 and sought medical help. Only to have what appeared to be a clean MRI and a diagnosis of Bell’s Palsy. He was told to give it time and the symptoms would fade. He moved along with his days thinking it would get better in a few weeks.

But his symptoms began to worsen quickly. Over the next few months what went from numbness in his face turned to the entire side of his body. Vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, blurred vision, vomiting, and headaches. He lost his ability to drive a car. He had to stop tattooing until he got his health back on track. Cammeron had a second MRI in April 2023 which showed a one-inch tumor in the pons section of his brain on his brain stem.

Cammeron’s bills are stacking up and without the ability to work at all, they will continue to do so. He is unable to support himself and his family. He will also be selling a large portion of his tattoo flash and precious art collection to do so, but we still need your help.

We are asking our community for donations to help Cammeron to pay the ongoing medical bills and his cost of living. Anything you can give will be greatly appreciated by his friends, partner, and family while we navigate this difficult time.

Update: We want to thank you all so much for your donations in the last 24 hours. It shows how much the community cares. We appreciate it and we'd love to see it exceed its goal to provide Cammeron and his family with more financial support.
