Faith, Family, & Fight – Help Ben Get Cancer Treatment

Faith, Family, and Fight – Help My Brother Ben

Faith, Family, and Fight.

To me, these words are more than just a mantra—they are a reminder that God is in charge, guiding us through life’s hardest trials. Family is the foundation of love and support that lifts us up when we are struggling. And Fight is the strength we must summon to overcome battles that seem impossible.

Today, I come to you with a heavy heart, asking for help for someone I love—my brother, Ben.

Ben is a devoted father, but life has dealt him an unimaginably difficult hand. His young son was diagnosed with leukemia at just three years old—a battle no parent should ever have to witness. By God’s grace and the prayers of so many, his little boy recently finished treatment and is now in remission. A true miracle.

But now, the fight is Ben’s. He has been diagnosed with bladder cancer, and his battle is just beginning.

Ben has always been a hard worker with a kind heart, never hesitating to put others first. Despite being in pain for the past year, he pressed on—focused on his son’s fight, doing everything he could to support his family. As the sole provider, he not only carries the weight of medical uncertainty but also the responsibility of keeping food on the table and the lights on. His strong and stubborn spirit has kept him going, but now, he needs help.

Ben urgently needs medical treatment. Just two weeks ago, he had to pay $10,000 out of pocket for surgery to remove a high-grade, non-invasive bladder tumor. But the procedure couldn’t eliminate it entirely. Now, the tumor is spreading rapidly, and his urologist has warned that time is of the essence—he cannot afford to wait 90 days for financial aid approval.

Cost Breakdown for Ben’s Urgent Treatment

Ben’s bladder cancer treatment comes with significant financial challenges, and every dollar raised will go directly toward covering his medical expenses. Here’s a breakdown of the costs:

- TURBT Surgery (Tumor Removal) – $10,000 (Self-pay)

- BCG Immunotherapy Treatments – $320 per week for 6 weeks ($1,920 total)

- Pre-Op Lab Work & Pathology Labs – Estimated at $80 per test

Total Fundraising Goal: $12,000

This amount will help ensure Ben receives the urgent surgery and treatment he needs, while also covering essential pre-op and pathology costs. Every contribution makes a difference in getting him the care that could save his life.

We are rallying together to help Ben get the care he needs.

This fundraiser isn’t just about raising money—it’s about standing in solidarity with a father, brother, and provider who has always put his family first.

- Every donation, big or small, makes a difference.

- If you’re unable to give, please share his story—you never know who might be able to help. Every little bit adds up.

To ensure the funds are handled responsibly and used solely for Ben’s medical care, donations will go directly to my father (Earl Christy), who has stepped forward to manage them. This will safeguard the contributions and guarantee that every dollar raised is used for the life-saving treatment Ben needs.

If this story touches your heart, please help however you can.

- Prayers, donations, and words of encouragement are always appreciated.

- If you have any questions, please reach out to me—I will do my best to answer.

- I am trying to be my brother’s advocate as we navigate this battle, just like we did when we lost our mother to cancer 8 ½ years ago.
