Jimmy D'Erricos Neuroendocrine Cancer treatment

Donation protected
Hi, on behalf of countless family & friends, we are calling on anyone & everyone to help our dear friend Jimmy D'Errico. A father of three, Jim has been battling stage four Neuroendocrine Cancer since 2018. This is a form of pancreatic and liver cancer and, unfortunately, in Ohio, they've done everything they can for him. His care providers have asked him to seek other treatment or get his affairs in order. They are only treating him to be comfortable at this time, but he hasn't given up hope -- nor have we. He's only 40 years old and has a lot to live for, starting with the reason he gets up every morning: his three amazing children -- Antonio, 16, Aidan, 14, and Samantha, 7. When he's not fighting pain and fatigue to be the best father possible, he's researching how to survive or, at the very least, extend his life to see his children flourish and graduate high school. In Tampa Bay, Florida, there's a clinic that can extend his life and get him healthy enough to take another step toward survival. Those treatments will help him push on to another center that specializes in Neuroendocrine Cancer treatment and offers a legitimate chance to save him.
Unfortunately, his insurance will no longer cover his needs when he goes to Tampa Bay. The exact cost is unknown, but it is estimated to be around $15,000, at the very least. The next treatment will be another $35,000 of uncovered medical costs. It's frustrating that money plays such a role in saving someone's life, but I believe we can make this happen -- as a whole. We understand not everyone is financially capable of donating a lot, but every little bit matters. Our goal is high, but it's worth it. Jim's battle becomes more challenging every day. He's losing weight, strength and time. He needs our help, and he needs it now.
Even if you can't donate, please share this, make it viral and let's get this out there beyond our community. This man's life matters to so many, including his children, who should not have to go through their young lives without a father. So, let's make a difference, and let's do this together.
Please and thank you!
