On Behalf of Erick Edwards

If you’re reading this, you probably know Erick, AKA E, or E-Man, or you’ve likely at least heard about him through one of his hundreds of friends.

Erick is the kind of person who makes everyone feel seen. He is beyond thoughtful, never forgets a birthday (or even a half birthday), and somehow, a handwritten card or postcard always finds its way to your mailbox, often stamped from wherever his latest adventure has taken him. He’s most likely painted your room, your business, or your house at some point. If not that, you’ve likely been to one of his epic theme parties or gone to a rockin’ concert together. He’s a connector, a friend to all, and never misses a gathering.

Now, E-Man needs us.

He’s been diagnosed with stage 4 Per Squamous Cell Carcinoma, an Aggressive form of skin cancer that has spread to his lungs and beyond.

He's currently going through a 2nd cycle of intensive chemo and immunotherapy with some radiation. Erick is facing this challenge and treatments with courage and his signature positivity, but no doubt, he's on a very tough journey.

While his close friends and brother are helping care for him; getting him to his appointments, handling expenses, etc., this fight will take some time, and he is going to need some bigger and longer-term help.

If you know Erick, you know that when he’s not playing, he is ALWAYS working. It’s in his veins. While that’s not realistic for now, the expenses continue to mount.

We, his friends, have come together to create this GoFundMe to help ease the financial and mental burden, and offer the ability to take advantage of some additional therapies, nutrition, and supplementation to provide him with the best outcome possible.

Every contribution will go directly toward:

• Rent, insurance, and basic living expenses

• Additional medical therapies and supplements

• Transportation and recovery needs

E would never ask for this kind of help himself, he’s far too humble, but we know he would be the first to show up for any of us.

Now it’s our turn.

Please give what you can and share this page with others. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference and helps our friend keep his light shining.

Let’s rally around E-Man and help get him back on stage like the rock star he is!

With gratitude and love,

Friends of E
