Hi there. My name is Tom Aaberg, and for the last 2 years I have been battling a very aggressive stage 4 colorectal cancer. We have tried everything from surgery to medical trials, to radiation, and of course different types of chemotherapy - be it intravenous or in pill shape, but every single time the cancer has grown resistant and come back stronger and more vicious than before. As I am writing this, I have barely eaten anything. The only thing I have been doing is drinking various fluids and taking my medication. Honestly, I don't know how much longer I have left. Except that every single day I get worse and worse.
However, I wanted to make this last GoFundMe, while I still have the strength to use my phone.
My wife and I live on a Horse Farm in Florida and have been for quite some time now. She has had a great passion for horses all her life, especially for the Icelandic Horse breed, and having a horse farm close to great riding options has always been a dream for her. I want to keep that dream a reality even after I am gone. Right now, due to the social security benefits I receive every month combined with her income from work, we can just barely keep our heads above water. Most times, however, we are bleeding out and have less and less savings left . As soon as I am gone, she will most likely be forced to either start selling some horses, or sell the farm, or both.
We have worked hard to achieve this dream, and I don't want it to end just because I do. I want her to live a happy life on her dream property with all her horses,
That's why I am asking for $200,000. The actual amount due on the mortgage is roughly $150,000, but that extra $50,000 would allow her to have professionals come in and finish all the projects I have left half-done. I want her to remember the good times we had here, and that I will always love her, and that even after my death I am still looking out for her and our little spot in the world.
I hope that you can be a part of this. Know that I would appreciate any donation, regardless how small, because every little bit helps out. Thank you for helping me show my wife how much she means to me this one last time. I love you all.
Tom
