"I’m reaching out to my friends and family new and old to help me, and if you know me you know how hard it is for me to ask. On April 9, 2026, I was admitted to the hospital at St. Jude’s medical center with the diagnosis of metastic squamous cancer. Over the past three months my body had been showing signs of lymph node swelling which I thought were a reaction to the diverticulitis I had starting January 2. As things started getting worse, it started spreading and my body was breaking down day by day trying to keep working. Fortunately, we were able to catch it and are able to do what we can but it’s very aggressive. I am going to fly to Texas to be cared for by the Houston cancer research hospital to give me the best chance with the best care. This is a challenging and scary time for me, my family and friends and would greatly appreciate any support you can give as the medical bills and travel needed to get this done will be hard for me and my family to handle. Below I will attached a go fund me, and I would be eternally grateful if you could help me in my time of need so I can stick around for as long as possible. Thank you from deep in my heart, life is a community sport."
