Dakota's Terminal Lymphoma

Donation protected
My cousin Dakota Fisher was Diagnosed with Lymphoma in 2018. He was 19 years old and felt a small lump on his neck. He went to a quick care and was dismissed without any diagnosis. A few months later Dakota passed out in his home and was rushed to the ER where he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. By the time they discovered the cancer Dakota's cancer had already spread and he had a tumor around his heart that is inoperable. Dakota started treatment right away to fight the cancer with hopes of shrinking the tumor around his heart that is very dangerous and could lead to cardiac arrest without notice. 
Dakota has a large family with 6 other siblings.  Dakota lives with his mother , father , younger sister Trinity and older brother Brandon who was born Deaf. Dakota's father works as an air conditioning technician. Dakota's mom was working at a medical office but soon had to leave her job to be the care taker of her son who was becoming more ill with the aggressive treatments to fight the cancer. With Dakota being so young,  he unfortunately does not have good health insurance and even with insurance his family was having to pay more then $ 2,000 a month for his medical treatments. Their family lost their car because they could no longer afford the payments and are depending on friends / family for transportation. Their family is living day by day just to get by with food  and bills.
Dakota and his family were told last week that his cancer is terminal and the treatment he has been receiving for a little over 1 year is not working.  The tumor around his heart is not shrinking and he was told that there is no more treatment that can be done at this time ( He has already tried clinical trials) . Dakota is receiving pain management from an oncology nurse and his family is in the process on deciding if it's time for hospice service. 
I am reaching out at this time to ask for donations for Dakota and his family to help to get them back on their feet, so that Dakota and his family can enjoy the time that they have left with each other. Your donation will go directly to the family toward a car for the family to use for transportation and food and bills while his mother is out of work. Any and all donations will help at this time Thank you for your Donations
