Help for Gabe
Donation protected
Hi, I am Gabe Tricoli. I am 23 years old. I graduated from ScahumburgHigh School in 2015. On Tuesday morning June 11th I went to the E.R. with severe pain in my neck & shoulder. To my surprise, a tumor was found in my neck from the C2-C5 vertebrae. I was told the tumor is eating away at the bone of the C2 vertebrae. They put me into ICU & proceeded to do further testing. Yesterday I got a call from the Oncologist saying that I have Ewing's Sarcoma. This is an aggressive form of cancer typically found in adolescent children. Because it is pressing on the spinal cord, we will need to act fast. Unfortunately, when this all went down I had no health insurance. Although I am applying for public aid, I want to be able to try both traditional & alternative therapies. My mother is a medical educator. She knows how to help me using, herbs, & some dietary changes. However, she has been a single mom for most of my life. She does not have the financial ability to help me with all of the costs involved to try these alternatives. We also do not know yet if we can afford the traditional treatments and/or if we will get turned away due to my lack of insurance coverage. Any help you can give right now would be appreciated more than words can say. We want to try anything we can to give me a good chance of survival. Thank you so much for your help and support!
