Let me begin by introducing myself, my name is Richard Sherman, I am a Veteran, and I am 44 years old and have a wonderful family.  Not too long ago an unusual cyst like lesion showed up on my lower jaw (it is the size of a Clementine orange, called Ameloblastoma, I tried to upload an additional photo but was unable) and I am in need of recision and reconstructive surgery.  They will have to remove the tumor, most of the lower jaw, and graft new bone from my hip to grow a new jaw bone (as the jaw bone can not regenerate on its own).  If not taken care of, then it can become invasive (take over other organs).

I don't have social media, and have asked family members (and anyone else that comes across this) to post this on their Facebook pages however, if I am going to be able to have this surgery, I am in need of funds for the costs of the surgery and to ensure that eveything is taken care of (i.e. medical bills, unknown costs, and other expenses).  I won't be able to work and will be out for three or four months.  This is the beginning of a long journey for me and I am asking that if you can or are willing to help, please do (any amount will be grateful, big or small, it all adds up in the end, towards the goal).  Even if you are not able to help, please share this, everyday (posts and repost daily) with anyone and everyone, thanks, God Bless You All.
