Help Ricky Pay for Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
My friend Ricky was diagnosed with colon cancer in October of 2022, at age 30. Ricky (or Rick, as I call him) is a talented artist and a skilled professional art handler; he is also one of the most caring, loyal, funny, and humble people I've ever known. If you know Ricky, you know that he has a kind of subtle charisma, the type of personal magnetism that comes from being a deeply honest and good-natured person. In the two decades I've known him, I can scarcely think of anyone more well-liked by their acquaintances and well-loved by their friends and family. Please, consider donating to this medical fund so that we can keep him around for as long as possible.
As of this writing, Ricky is in his first round of chemotherapy. He has insurance, but there are still significant out of pocket costs for his treatment. His job is also very physical and chemotherapy sickness impacts his ability to work. His partner Anna has also needed to take time off of work to care for him in their home.
Money from this fundraiser will go directly to Ricky and his partner Anna to:
- help cover out of pocket costs for chemotherapy and other treatments
- help recoup lost income in order to pay for rent and other necessitites
On behalf of Ricky, his family, and all of the people who love him, thank you for your support
