Josh's Journey
Donation protected

On Jan 23rd 2019, My brother Joshua was diagnosed with Gamma Delta Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma. (Which is a rare type of cancer and they have yet to find a cure) The doctors were all very positive as he is only 30 yo. At that time, Joshua was still working to support his family of 4; Desiree, Liam, and Raelynn. However, due to his cancer, he is unable to work now. Desiree had to pick up a full time job to support them, but recently had to cut her hours to help more and to spend more time at home. They have a lively 4yr old little boy named Liam and a spunky nearly 3yr old little girl named Raelynn. They are a very close family and love spending time together. You can imagine how heartbreaking this situation has been for all of us.
They struggle to pay the bills and take care of everything around the house. The majority of the money would go to keeping them afloat and if there was any left over it would go to trying to squeeze as much life into what time we have left. We want to make as many memories for the babies as we can with Josh.
The doctor's are telling us that the cancer isn't responding to the treatment anymore, but that he can't stop treatment. If he stops treatment then he must go into hospice and he wouldn't last long after that. We are planning on stopping treatment for me to do a bone marrow transplant or other type of stem cell transplant. They would need to travel to MDA to have that procedure done which would be another expenditure.
My family needs your help and we would appreciate anything you can offer.
Thank you.
