<div>Hello, my name is Bill Ward. I was born and raised in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, and have spent most of my life here. I’ve worked for a local company in their warehouse, and for many years I’ve found joy in singing with the Saint Patrick’s choir on Sundays. I consider myself blessed to have lived a simple, full life surrounded by community, faith, and gratitude for the gift of each day.
</div>
<div>Asking for help is not easy. I’ve always tried to provide for myself and my family, but life has placed me on a path where I can no longer walk it alone. Thirteen years ago, I was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), a slow-growing but relentless cancer. Since then, I have undergone many treatments—from chemotherapy infusions to oral medications—each with its own challenges. Some worked for a time, others left me fighting severe side effects including a hospital stay, but through it all, I’ve held on to hope.
</div>
<div>Four years ago, I believed that a new treatment might give me a breakthrough. Instead, it brought infections, complications, and more time in the hospital. When that treatment ended, my cancer returned aggressively, with lymph nodes swelling to painful sizes. At that point, I was told my disease was too advanced for CAR-T therapy, a promising new option.
</div>
<div>Thankfully, another treatment gave me temporary relief, and today—by God’s grace—I am finally eligible to pursue CAR-T therapy. This is the most intensive treatment I have faced yet, requiring me to relocate to Oklahoma City for up to two months. I will need daily hospital visits, possible inpatient stays, and I won’t be able to work or drive during this time. Still, I hold onto the hope that I could be among the fortunate patients who find complete remission through this therapy.
</div>
<div>This is where I humbly ask for your help. The journey ahead is daunting—physically, emotionally, and financially—but I believe that with God’s guidance and the support of compassionate people like you, I can face it with strength.
</div>
<div>My faith in Christ sustains me. I trust that even when the road is uncertain, He is walking beside me. I pray that none of you or your loved ones will ever have to endure the weight of cancer, and I pray that God’s peace and love will be with each of you who takes the time to read my story.
</div>
<div>If you feel moved to help—through prayer, sharing my story, or contributing to my GoFundMe—I would be deeply grateful.
</div>
<div>Thank you for walking with me in hope.
</div>
<div>With faith and gratitude,
</div>
<div>Bill Ward
</div>
