Need transportation to chemo treatments
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Jason and 2 weeks ago I found out that I have cancer. This isn't something I ever thought I would have to do but sometimes in life your have to put your pride aside and ask for help. The cancer I was diagnosed with is called a synovial sarcoma, which is a rare small tissue tumor. Luckily it was caught quick enough that it hasn't spread but it does need immediate attention. It's serious enough that they started me on 5 days chemo treatment the very next day. I currently live in Big Pine Key, FL but have to travel to Miami for treatment. Because of how rare it is, there are only a couple places able to provide the chemo treatment I need. This is about a 3 hour drive if there's no traffic. I currently do not have a car. Since I live and worked on the same small island I simply rode my bike to work. I was in the process of getting established here and wasn't expecting anything like this to happen and I'm trying to remain positive but just have no idea how I'm going to continue to make it to treatments since they want me to come to Miami every month for 5 days of chemo and expect this to take 6 months to a year before it's safe to remove. I simply need a safe and reliable vehicle to make it to my treatments and this is the only way I can think of making this happen quickly so I would greatly appreciate any donation you could make to help ease the stress of this situation.
