Help Michael Elkins fight against pancreatic cancer

Donation protected
I'm Audrey Michele Elkins, and I'm reaching out for help and for prayers for my big brother Michael Elkins who is 45 years old. We are from lucedale Mississippi and On May 22 2025 I go with my brother to the emergency room because he was having severe pain in his stomach, throwing up, and other issues. They took his blood and had it tested along with getting an iv in him and so on. When they returned with his blood test they told us he needed an emergency blood transfusion. The hemoglobin in his red blood cella was critically low. Normal healthy levels in men range from 14-17 g/dl and his was a 4 which is life threatening. Then they said he will also be emergency transported to USA/Providence hospital in mobile Alabama and he's listed as in critical condition. My brother, Michael, and our mother Rita Elkins who is 71 years old and myself was terrified because we didn't know what was fixing to happen or what was wrong with him. While at providence hospital, he had 6 blood transfusions and was having internal gastrointestinal bleeding, he had a couple of Mri's, a couple of cat scans, and they found the mass on his pancreas. Biopsy was done and afterwards a bone scan was done And other test. He could not eat solid foods or drink anything. only a clear liquid diet from iv and clear broth he could have. And his pain was only getting worse. On May 28th which was my birthday, the doctor comes in and tells him he has pancreatic cancer. Which is also called, "THE SILENT KILLER". Due to the fact that most people who have this cancer do not get symptoms of anything wrong until the cancer has already spreaded to your surronding organs and in your bones which puts the cancer at the latest stage and you are told you only have so much more time to live. Catching this cancer at the earliest stages is hard, because of the fact you don't start getting symptoms until it's spreaded. With the power of Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior, my brothers test results and bone scan show that it's not spreaded Yet! He has a long road ahead of him. He will be finding out his options on what can be done to beat this cancer and for him to continue living life. He only has government united Healthcare insurance and they barely cover anything at all, so whatever insurance does not pay for we will have to pay out of our pockets and our mom is living on social security income which is not alot, my brother has not been able to work due to him having seizures and problems with his back from a previous wreck. He has been in the process of getting on disability with his seizures and stuff but it's a very long process and very hard to get accepted for it. And I barely have enough money to take care of myself each week. We may struggle but we don't give up! There's no way we can afford the hospital stays, all the major tests/scans, medications and the treatments/surgery that he needs. Our dad died when we was young kids, our mom raised us by herself and it's always been us 3. Life has not been easy for any of us and now this is happening and we can't just deal with it and fix it ourselves like any little problem we faced before. So I'm reaching out for help and I'm praying for a miracle, to please help with the cost of his medical and all treatments and procedures he will be needing. And the biggest miracle is for my brother to beat this and be ok again and get to live his life. Please any donation big or small will be a blessing.
Help Michael Elkins beat pancreatic cancer and have the blessing to keep on living life. God bless
