I'm a 63-year-old man with head and neck cancer. Please understand I do not want anything that I don't sincerely need to get through this cancer diagnosis. My wife is a beautiful soul, but she has been sick for 25 years with chronic pancreatitis. She can't work. We are in a very serious situation financially. I may get some help from the government at some point, but not yet.

The diagnosis is squamous cell carcinoma. Forgive the misspelling. It is treatable and can be cured with intense radiation and chemotherapy.

I'm on the 4th week of treatment and it's so hard to just get out of bed. The lethargy is unbelievable.

Please consider donating to my wife and I so we can pay for living expenses during this most difficult time. Please pray for healing and better financial circumstances. My wife and I would like to add that we are just one of a multitude of people that are dealing with life with cancer.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to consider helping a person in need.

God bless all,

Sincerely,

Russ and Lisa Swisshelm
