You know how there are some people in this world who emit a love frequency so strong it gives you goosebumps? Or how some people unknowingly spread light and joy to every person they come in contact with? Some people ease your worries with just the warmth of their voice as the sound of their laughter shifts the energy of a whole room. Some people hug you and you feel your soul open up, and you get emotional and you’re not even sure why.. Some people-some rare and precious gems-are all of these traits embodied. Some of you are probably reading this and thinking, “I actually know someone just like that! Colin Fortnum.” You would be correct. Colin is the kind of soul who is placed strategically on Earth to move humanity. And honestly, that is probably an understatement.
As much as we want to stay in the above paragraph forever, were here to share that on Jan 22nd Colin was diagnosed with 3 malignant masses in his left testicle and is undergoing surgery in just two short weeks to have everything removed and biopsies and testing done to determine his next steps. Colin is without health insurance and will be facing what comes his way as self pay while actively looking for coverage. I’m asking you from the bottom of my heart to consider a donation and/or to share this link.
Colin and his wife are DEDICATED, career long members of the service industry. They work their tails off with palpable joy to serve their community. Colin as a hairstylist and Abigale as a bartender and server. What they are experiencing on the healthcare end of things is unfortunately a classic American story. They work really hard and make enough to pay their bills, take loving care of their precious son Walter (who is 2!), enjoy their life and not qualify for any government help with medical insurance…but not necessarily enough to afford all of that plus $1200 a month to cover only two people with a plan that has a high deductible, a high out of pocket max, high copays anyway.. So Colin went the extra mile to completely change his lifestyle. He changed his diet, began working out 5 days a week, drinks more water than a camel, eats healthy foods and even takes walks outside during his breaks at work. He decided if he couldn’t have insurance at this time he would take disease prevention and caring for his health and body very seriously. He is in the best shape of his life and ready to fight!
Nothing is more important than Colin getting the proper testing and treatment he needs so he can continue to be the world’s best dad, husband and friend.
Let’s COME TOGETHER FOR COLIN and help get him and his family on the other side of this.
