Help Timm Redmond Recover

Hi, my name is Erin Black and I am trying to raise funds for my brother, Timm Redmond. I was waiting until we had a clear diagnosis, but everything about this situation has been difficult and time may be running out. Timm has been a part of the restaurant world for quite a while, which means he does not have health insurance. He had been feeling ill for a few months, and couldn't shake it. He tested negative for COVID and when he still wasn't improving, he went to the ER, where we found out that his hemoglobin was so low, they don't know how he was still alive. After many tests, a surgery and a couple of labs that couldn't figure out what was going on, we knew it was cancer, just not which kind. He has been in and out of the ER 3 times since the initial visit (4 weeks ago), had blood transfusions and they know he has a mass in his stomach which is preventing him from eating, but we are waiting to see how they handle that. They finally gave a diagnosis of Melanoma, but we do not what stage, yet. He went to the ER yesterday (10/25/2021) in extreme pain and was admitted to the hospital last night. During that time, his cancer doctor's office called to say they could start chemo, but they cannot do that until he is out of the hospital. He has been out of work for over a month and could use financial help. He was approved for cancer treatment, but that will not cover his multiple ER visits or his personal expenses, such as rent, etc.

I am grateful to everyone that has reached out to check on him and I know he is, as well. Any donations would be appreciated and if you are unable to donate, please spread the word. My family and I thank you.
