Help for living expenses during cancer treatments

Donation protected
Hello...my name is Marcus Stepto and I am a 48yr old living in Houston Texas who has been diagnosed with Stage 3 squamous cell carcinoma which is treatable with a chemotherapy and radiation treatment plan. My fundraising goal is 5,000 dollars for living expenses while I am unable to work as rideshare driver for the time being due to the toll that the treatments have taken on me. I was living in my car before my diagnosis and have been trying to make ends meet without steady income coming in. I have had family support but the funds raised would help relieve the pressure on family support and help me get through these tough times ahead. I have been very independent throughout my life but I realized I can't do this alone and decided that I need to reach out and see what help and generosity is available to me. I appreciate all the help and support that has been given or will be given in the process of me fighting to rid myself of the cancer and my doctors assure me that it is very treatable with the plan they have put together. The funds will help me find a stable place to stay and help with transportation costs to my many doctor's appointments that I have. I am homeless and living arrangements are very limited at moment which is why I needed to start the fundraising on GoFundMe, so any help is much appreciated. The main thing that is important to me is that I recover from this cancer and return to normal life hopefully without any limitations and hopefully be cancer free at the end of my treatments. I also would like to be able to reconnect with family and friends after I hopefully get rid of my cancer which would mean a lot to me because it been a struggle trying to do most things by myself although I have had help along the way. The fight continues and I hope the world knows cancer is a tough fight but I remain positive that I am doing the right thing by creating this fundraising opportunity for myself and family to help us get through the process. Thank you for your generosity.
