Help Justin stay afloat during cancer treatment!
Donation protected
So let me start by saying I hate having to make this. I hate asking people for help because it makes me genuinely feel bad that I can't take care of things myself. Heck I should have made this months ago but I've been procrastinating because I'm worried everyone will think lesser of me. And I hate that life was going so well before all of this.
So...back in January 2019 I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer and have been battling it nonstop ever since. The same cancer that took my mom, my aunt, and my grandpa, now set its sites on me. I've had 2 full rounds of chemo, radiation, and 2 surgeries so far. It started in my colon, then they found it in my liver and now they tell me it's in my lungs. So I'm looking at even more chemo and yet another surgery.
All the while, I've been too weak from fighting to return to work. Thanks to EIA and my grandmother letting me live rent free, I was able to stay afloat for most of it. But my grandma is selling her house so back in October I moved into an apartment. Ever since then, I've been watching my money slowly dry up.
EIA sends me $1000 a month, and rent is $700. So basically I have $300 a month to cover groceries, cat supplies, phone bill, gas and other car expenses, etc etc. Hence why I said I've been watching my account slowly dry up by a couple hundred per month.
While there is no threat of me being unable to pay rent at least, it would be amazing if I could have some help with everything else, just enough to last me until my treatment is done and I can finally return to my job at Oh Doughnuts that I love so much! $5000 would let me sleep at night knowing I'll be okay for a while, and anything more than that would simply be amazing and very much appreciated. But please only donate what you can and only if you can. I don't want money that people need for themselves okay? Even just sharing this page would mean a lot.
Thank you for taking your time to read my story.
