Charlie's Cancer Treatment

Donation protected
Charlie was born on May 8, 1991. He is only 26 years old. On Sept 17, 2017, Charlie felt pain in his groin and lower abdomen and went to Urgent Care the following day on Sept 18, 2017. They sent him to get an ultrasound of his left testicle. He was referred to a Urologist who told him he had testicular cancer. On October 6, 2017, Charlie had an orchiectomy (surgery to remove his testicle). Charlie has paid 100% of all medical expenses out of his pocket with no insurance assistance up to the orchiectomy. He has paid this all on his own! The following week, Charlie had a CT scan to check if the cancer had spread further and tumors were found in several lymph nodes and possibly in his lung. Charlie was sent to Florida Cancer Specialists to meet with an oncologist to schedule and begin chemotherapy. A 12 week chemotherapy plan was put in place with 3 different chemotherapy medications, in addition to several other medications. The total length for treatment will be 28 days, for now. Chemotherapy sessions are about $1,100 per day (after insurance). Charlie has been unable to work since mid November, and only received disability for 4 weeks. He is no longer eligible for disability and currently has no income to support himself while going through this treatment. All donations received would be used for his treatment (chemo) as well as his rent so that he still has a home and his car payment so that he still has a car to get him to his treatments. He is so very young to be going through this. ANY HELP would be so very greatly appreciated.
