Hello my beautiful family, friends and new friends...

First of all, please know that this is NOT an easy ask for me. I have debated moving forward with this for the past few weeks. In fact, when I believed it was just going to be the surgery, I felt confident that I could handle this on my own. But if I'm being honest, I am currently drowning in grief and debt.

As most of you already know, last month we found a mass on Jimmy's spleen. We were really grateful that we had found it early and I felt hopeful that we were taking fast action. After jumping through hurdles trying to get him into surgery, we were just 2 days shy of his scheduled surgery when the worst case scenario happened. Jimmy started to bleed internally, the mass on his spleen had ruptured. In the middle of the night, we had to bring Jimmy in for emergency surgery to have his spleen removed. At 1am, I signed up for a Care Credit card. I was given $12,800 worth of credit, his surgery was $12,300, pay in full. Not having this surgery wasn't an option. I literally thought we were going to lose him that night. It was honestly the worst night of my life.

I hate that I'm not in a position in my life that this type of investment still sets me back. Here's the thing. I have a year to pay it off. I feel confident I can do that. But I'm also in a place where I want to be able to give Jimmy the best care possible while he's still with us. I have decided not to move forward with chemo. From what I understand, it will only give him a couple extra months and he will be in and out of the hospital. Plus, it's insanely expensive.

Instead, I want to "treat every day like Christmas" and just prioritize his happiness and comfort. I'm also hoping to work with a naturopathic doctor. There are supplements and herbs that I want to be able to give Jimmy daily. I have heard really promising results. To be clear, Jimmy has cancer, and it's quite aggressive. My hope is to make Jimmy as comfortable as possible while he is still with us. He is my whole world, my whole heart.

To make a long story short. I am asking for your help. If you're not able to contribute financially, know that I completely understand. Your comments and messages and love mean just as much to me. I am so grateful for your compassion and support so far.

Thank you for considering us. The funds will go towards helping me cover the surgery, paying for supplements recommended by the naturopathic doctor, and Fallon finally learning how to cook healthy meals for Jimmy:)

I love you. Thank you for your support, then and now. Tomorrow is the 3 year anniversary of my accident. Know that I am eternally grateful to each and every single one of you.

All my love,

JIMMY FALLON
