Please help me fight lymphoma cancer

Hello friends and family

I'm so sorry to have to share that the news I have been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of Stage 4 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. My doctors reassure me this is curable, but it's going to take a lot of fighting for the next 6 months. I have amazing doctors at Mount Sinai here in NYC and I'm also working with an amazing Naturapathic doctor who was recommended to me by my talent manager, Lorna Rainey.

I was diagnosed on July 15th, 2023. I'm not gonna lie, it's been a struggle since my diagnosis. I have pain everyday, I can only stay on my feet for so long. I have lymph nodes all thru body that are enlarged and inflamed. I can only be on my feet for so long before I need to sit and rest. The pain can get out of control. The doctors have been giving me meds to manage the pain. They work to an extent but not all the way. I have had many doctor appointments taking blood, MRIs, CAT Scans, biopsies, lumbar infractions, bone marrow extracted, etc. I have two more appointments before I'm cleared for my chemo treatments to start. I have surgery this week to put my port in my chest for the chemo pump and an ECHO Cardiogram to make sure my heart can handle the chemo.

Those of you who know me, know that I have always been a very hard worker/hustler since the age of 12 years old. I have always had a job and always only depended on myself. Most of you know that I am a professional actor, acting coach and I run own private party staffing company providing bartenders and servers for private parties and events. Most of the parties and events I would go out on my own and I would make very good money However, since being diagnosed I am not able to work like I normally would. Taking care of my health has now become a full time job. I am not making and cannot make the income I was before this happened. But after my recovery, I plan on getting back on my hustle. But in the meantime, I’m asking for everyone’s help to get me thru this next 6-8 months.

It feels weird and hard to me to reach to friends and family and ask for money, but I absolutely will need the help coming the next 6-8 months. Due to my condition, I cannot work like I normally would and this is why I'm asking for your help.

The money you donate will go towards paying rent, bills, organic food, supplements and every day living expenses. You will also help to pay my Naturapathic doctor plus all of the natural healing remedies she has subscribed to me. Insurance doesn't pay any of it. Also, she has me on a very strict all organic diet, which I'm sure most know it's much more expensive non-organic stuff they allow on the shelves. Eventually, I think I will also be having to Uber or Lyft to my appointments to change pump for chemo. My insurance premiums and co-pays will go up in January as well when they reevaluate my insurance here in NYC. And who knows whatever other expenses will pop up along the way.

I know times are tough right now, but I'm asking from the bottom of my heart, any amount you can spare will really help me get through these next 6-8 months. And if you can please share with your friends and family as well, I will forever be grateful. Please know, once I'm through this, if there anything you need please do not hesitate to reach out. I love to help people if I can, especially my friends and family. I love you all so much wish you all nothing but love and prosperity!

The outpouring of love and support I’ve been receiving is overwhelming. I haven’t really cried about the cancer, but I’ve cried good tears from everyone’s love and support. I cannot do not this without you and I love you all from the bottom of my heart.

Much, much love and light to you all!

Sincerely,

Josh
