Rick Kalmet is facing his second battle with cancer in just three years. He is battling colon cancer that has started spreading to other organs. Despite everything, Rick has tried to keep working and stay strong — even after watching his partner go through her own fight with cancer, finishing radiation and chemo not long ago.

Now, medical bills, mortgage payments, and daily expenses are piling up. Rick has been forced to sell off many of his personal possessions — including things he’s worked his whole life for — just to stay afloat.

Anyone who knows Rick knows how hard he works and how much pride he takes in providing for himself and his loved ones. But right now, he needs our help. Every little bit will go toward keeping a roof over his head, covering medical costs, and giving him a bit of breathing room while he focuses on healing.

If you can donate, please do. And if you can’t, please share this page to help spread the word. Rick would never ask for help himself, but no one should have to fight this battle alone.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
