May I Introduce you to our friend Russell Vaz. Russell was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in January 2021. Even though he never smoked a cigarette in his life! His lung cancer is directly linked to a problem with the ventilation in his Condo building. There is an older lady who lives next to him, and who is a chain smoker, the building doesn’t have proper ventilation and the hallways and other apartments on his floor are always filled with second hand smoke. I went to visit him, and it seemed as if there was a fire burning on his floor! I stepped out of the elevator and was immediately engulfed in second hand smoke, and the same smoke filled the hallway too! He has lived there for 15 years now, and complained multiple times to the building owner about the second hand smoke, and the poor quality of air purification. In January 2021 he was given 4 months to live, but our dear friend Russel loves life and he is a fighter. Lately though, he feels as if the treatments that he’s been following are becoming less effective.

He needs your help to explore other options regarding his medical treatments, the cost of his various meds, the cost of living as he can no longer work .. and also for his legal fees to sue the building owner.

The cancer has now even expanded to his liver and bones!

Please help, lets give Russell the fighting chance that he deserves.

For all those who know him, from the decades that he has worked in various Nightclubs, Restos and Entertainment Venues around Montreal, you know how Amazing and friendly he is.
