Fighting Cancer & Can't Afford It

Donation protected
My husband is the strongest man I know. At the beginning of this year, he was given something that would test his strength. In January, he was diagnosed with Lung Cancer & a cancerous tumor in his face & neck. It was the worst news we've ever gotten by far and we knew we had no choice but to fight this battle & win. This is when our lives drastically changed putting the weight of the world on my shoulders. As we prepared for multiple doctor visits each week, upcoming surgeries and the start of radition and chemotherapy, I had no time to comprehend that this was something that could end with the loss of the man I've had by my side for over 30 years. As I kept my head up for us both, I started to feel the toll this illness was taking on me as well. Driving a 2hour roundtrip 3 times a week for appointments, Missing work so I could get my husband to radiation and chemo 5 days a week and watching the strongest man I know become a weak, sad, and angry person broke my heart. It's been a dreadful process and I am running on fumes anymore. Always stressing about the bills that don't stop coming. Wodering if I would have enough gas money to get him to his appointments. Not sleeping at night has become something I'm very familiar with. I wasn't sure what to do anymore because I don't know how I'm going to pay the bills & work full time while I care for my husband. I have filed for disability but its been 3 months now & we still haven't got help from them. I need help, we need help. His medication monthly is almost the same as rent, the certain diet food he has to have are more expensive than I'd ever imagine. Medical supplies, like a shower chair & wheelchair, are things he cannot be without and insurance may cut us a small break, but it doesn't help much. Rents due, Electrics due, Car Payment, Insurances, Medication needs refilled... The list doesn't end so I hope this gofund me page will bring us a little ease and help us get out of this hole we've stumpled into. My husband and I aren't ones to ask anyone for help, we're always ones to help others and I didn't think the tables would have turned but unfortunately they have. Anything will help, we appreciate whatever we get because its more than we have now. We won't stop fighting. My husband will win this battle and look back at it as a test of courage. God is in control and we have faith that when the new year rolls around we will be able to go back to the lives we are used to. Please keep David in your prayers, we have a bumpy road ahead but we are prepared. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
