Chris is fighting his greatest battle against Cancer.

 

Chris was recently diagnosed with stage four Cancer and will be having surgery to remove the tumor on his tongue, plus lymph nodes on both sides of his neck where the cancer has spread. In addition, he will have tissue removed from his arm to rebuild his tongue, as well as skin grafts, a tracheotomy, radiation treatment, and extensive therapy to learn how to swallow and speak again.

 

The money raised from this gofundme will help cover: any medical bills not covered by insurance, aftercare such as continued speech and respiratory therapy, alternative care such as acupuncture and naturopathic medicine that will help alleviate the side-effects of radiation and chemotherapy, and bills such as rent and utilities while he's unable to work. He'll be unable to work for six months to a year.  

 

Many people have reached out to ask how to help. If you know Chris, you know him as a generous, kind, loving, stubborn soul and fierce protector of friends and loved ones.  Let's come together and help Chris.

Chris is my best friend and I'm so grateful for this support.  I will be handling funds on Chris’s behalf and transferring them to him outside of go fund me. Sincerely, Lisa Oliver(Portland, OR.)
