Julius Cesar Colemon II is a pillar of love and strength for his family and community. A devoted father to Maurice, Julius III, Javon, and Davion, and a proud grandfather to Maliyah, Maurice Jr., Ta’Moni, Julius IV, Zoey, Emori, Imani, and Quincey, he embodied selflessness and dedication. For 30 years, Julius served with the Housing Authority of San Francisco, always striving to create stable, hopeful futures for others. He worked tirelessly to ensure his children could pursue higher education, demonstrating that hard work, faith, and family come first. Julius’s legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the lessons he taught, and the love he shared every day.

The family of Julius Cesar Colemon II was stunned by a diagnosis that felt impossible to predict. At age 64, our world shifted in an instant from routine to resilience as Stage 4 lung cancer was confirmed. The shock wasn’t just the diagnosis itself, but the reality that treatment would require ongoing, expensive options that reach far beyond what insurance typically covers.

Today, Julius is navigating a demanding treatment plan that includes chemotherapy and targeted physical therapy—life-extending options that carry substantial costs. These treatments often come with gaps in coverage, out-of-pocket expenses, and the need for frequent appointments, travel, and additional supportive care. The financial burden compounds the emotional and physical strain of fighting cancer, turning every mile and every medication into a delicate balance of hope and hardship.

We are seeking to raise $50,000 to support treatments and travel for appointments. This fund will help cover:

Out-of-pocket costs for chemotherapy and targeted physical therapy

Co-pays, deductibles, and non-covered medications

Travel expenses for frequent appointments and potential stays near treatment centers

Supportive care and needs that can improve quality of life during treatment.
