Determined to Fight Colon Cancer
Donation protected
I worked at a hotel in downtown Manhattan and two month's after the WTC collapsed I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis which today developed into Crohn's disease. Prior to such, I've always been healthy with no illness. I was seen by a WTC health doctor on 9/20/18 which determined my auto-immune disease was not a direct result of the toxins in the air from the WTC disaster. On Halloween night 2018, I was diagnosed with stage-three colon rectal cancer, had surgery to remove my colon on 11/9/2018 and currently undergo chemotherapy treatments. I am struggling to make ends-meet and receive temporary disability which only pays $200 a week before taxes and I please ask for your help to fund my over due credit card bills, rent, medical supplies /bills, and daily expenses until I can get back on my feet and be healthy enough to return to work summer of 2019.
