Hello, my name is Paul Telling. I am 48 years old living in Merced Ca, and was diagnosed mid last year with Stage 4 throat and tongue cancer as well as another type of cancer in my lung.  Oh ya the trifecta. Lucky me.  I went through chemo and radiation at Stanford and Emanuel Cancer center in Turlock CA.  I am still trying to fight for my life despite having one foot in the grave.  The problem is the world doesn't wait for recovery, it just moves on.

The reason why I set up this request for help is as a last resort. Trust me, I am the last person who wants to ask for help or assistance. I have worked hard all my life and earned everything I had. Due to Cancer and side affects of chemo and radiation, I am now disabled. I can't work,  I can barely walk, have neuropathy in my hands and feet and have lost part of my hearing and eye sight, and lost a bunch of weight (I'm 6'2 and now weigh 120 lbs to give you an idea) even with a feeding tube in my stomach. Yeh, I'm a mess, but enough with the pity party. I'm still alive.

However the house payment people don't care. As I haven't been able to pay my mortgage in full since treatment began, I have been told I need to move within the next few months.  I don't want to be homeless healthy, much less in my state. I have tried everything. I am a very private and proud person and sharing my life story with the whole world is not what I wanted to do. It is extremly difficult for me, asking for donations is even harder. This is  my last resort. You are my last hope.  I have run out of options. I am just praying for a miracle.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this and God bless you, I hope you have a very Merry Christmas. 

Sincerely from the bottom of my heart, and Thank you.

Paul Telling
