Help Eric Fight & Heal His Body

Donation protected
On November 3rd, Eric Kimbrough was admitted to the ER for what he thought was pneumonia. He didn't know it at the time but his calcium levels were so high that they were toxic and causing his kidneys to shut down.

The next day, which also happened to be his 50th birthday, he learned he was suffering from Stage 3 Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the blood plasma cells that affects the bone marrow.

After 5 days in the hospital, the doctors stabilized him and brought his calcium levels down to normal which allowed his kidney function to go back to normal. We are so thankful for this! However, he still has a long road ahead as he must get his strength back and fight the underlying disease. This will include multiple weekly visits to the hospital for injections, bloodwork, infusions, & a possible stem cell transplant treatment over the next 12-16 weeks.

As you can imagine, there are a ton of out-of-pocket costs associated with treatments as insurance doesn't cover 100%. And as a self-employed person, if Eric doesn't work, he doesn't make money. Most importantly, all we want is for him to concentrate all of his energy on fighting this disease and getting back to his full health without financial worry.

Eric is always pouring positive and healing energy into others, now is our chance to return the favor to him. Please donate what you can, no matter how big or small, so that we can bring that same healing light to him.

Thank you! <3
