Join Joshua's Fight: Beat Cancer Together

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Joshua. Life can change in an instant, and for me, that moment came just days before celebrating my 4-year anniversary of living in Florida this past October. I was diagnosed with colon cancer. Those words turned my world upside down, and now I’m gearing up for the fight of my life.

I’m currently preparing to start treatment—radiation and chemotherapy—within the next week or so. While I’m ready to do whatever it takes to beat this, the reality of cancer goes far beyond the physical battle. The financial strain is crushing. My insurance helps, but it doesn’t cover everything, and the bills keep coming. From medical expenses to everyday living costs, it feels like I’m drowning.

Through all of this, my partner Billy has been my rock. He’s taken on so much, more than anyone should have to. But I see the stress in his eyes, the weight of worrying about both my health and how we’ll keep up with these mounting bills. Billy’s love and support keep me going, but I hate seeing how hard this is on him.

We’re doing our best, but it’s not enough. That’s why I’m reaching out to you. Your help could make all the difference, allowing us to focus on what matters most—getting me through treatment and back on my feet.

Your support will help us cover:
• Medical expenses not covered by insurance, including the costs of radiation and chemotherapy.
• Living expenses like rent, utilities, and groceries while I’m undergoing treatment.
• Transportation costs for getting to and from my appointments.

Every donation, no matter the amount, brings us closer to easing this overwhelming burden. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page with others would mean the world to us.

This journey is just beginning, but I’m determined to get through it—not just for myself, but for Billy. Thank you for taking the time to read our story, and thank you for any support you can provide. Your kindness gives us hope in this fight.

With love and gratitude,
Joshua
