Hi, I’m writing on behalf of my brother John (originally from Natchez, MS, currently in Raleigh NC), who recently received a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. He’s a kind, talented and hard-working guy who gives the shirt off his back to others, and now he needs a squad to rally for him.

What’s Going On

The treatments (radiation, medication, hospital stays) are overwhelming in cost and intensity. John has used all of his savings, sold everything he owns (even all his podcast gear and musical instruments), and leaned on family and friends as far as possible. But the costs have continued to mount - both medical and living expenses.

He is unable to work right now, which adds added stress and financial strain just to cover basic needs (rent, utilities, groceries, travel for treatments, etc.). He's qualified for disability which helps a little, but barely covers any of his treatment.

What We’re Asking For

We’re asking for help to raise $ that will help with short-term and medium-term needs. These funds will go toward:

Medical bills, doctor visits, hospital stays, treatments not fully covered by insurance - which has not been helpful at all

Medications and specialized care/supplements needed during recovery.

Daily living expenses while John is fighting cancer (housing, utilities, food, transportation to medical appointments)

Why This Matters

John has always been someone who gives when others needed help, whether it was family, friends, or work. Now he’s facing the hardest battle of his life, and feels so alone and isolated doing it. A small donation will make a BIG difference. Sharing this campaign even if you can’t donate will help more than you know.

How You Can Help

(1) Donate what you can: no amount is too small.

(2) Share this campaign through social media, email, word of mouth. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for caring, for sharing, and for helping John gain traction on the road to recovery.
