I’m humbly reaching out during a difficult chapter in my life.

A few weeks ago, I underwent open surgery to remove a GIST tumor from my GI tract. While recovering, I faced a frightening setback—a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in my leg and lungs) that sent me back to the hospital for urgent treatment. These unexpected medical issues have left me physically drained and financially vulnerable.

I’m currently on short-term disability, which covers only part of my income. Unfortunately, the medical bills, medication, and living expenses keep coming while I focus on healing.

I’m raising funds to help cover:

• Medical expenses and follow-ups

• Medications

• Unpaid time off work

• Transportation and basic living costs while I recover

If you know me, you know how hard it is for me to ask for help. But your support—big or small—would mean the world to me and my family right now. Every dollar goes directly to keeping me afloat as I heal and prepare for potential further treatment.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser with your network would make a huge difference.

Thank you so much for reading and supporting me in any way you can.

With gratitude,

Andrew
