Help Don Howard Begin His Treatment

Don Howard is courageously battling throat cancer. This devastating illness has blocked 100% of his nasal passages and a large part of his throat, making it impossible for him to consume anything other than liquid foods. Don is ready to start chemo and radiation therapies to shrink the tumor in his throat, but before he can begin this essential treatment, he needs to have several teeth extracted.

For some people, Don included, teeth extraction is a necessary 1st step because chem devastates the teeth, and going to the dentist while immunocompromised because of chem is out of the question. Unfortunately, Don does not have dental insurance and the dentists only accept cash. The total for extration will be $1,200-$1,500

Thankfully, the cost of his chemo is covered by medicare.

Don has always been a support to the archery community. Now, he needs our help. Your generous contributions will go directly towards covering the cost of the dental procedures, enabling him to start chemotherapy and continue his fight against cancer. Every donation, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to giving Don the treatment he urgently needs.

Thank you for your kindness and support during this challenging time. Together, we can make a difference in Don's life.
