Help Matthew Beat Cancer & Pay Important Bills

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
I am reaching out to share my story and seek your support during one of the most challenging times in my life. I am currently battling large cell type B non-Hodgkin's lymphoma while raising my two beautiful daughters and completing my final class for my undergraduate degree in computer science.
In July, I secured a dream job in IT, a role that felt like the start of a new chapter. However, shortly after, I received the life-altering diagnosis of cancer. Since then, my life has become a juggling act, trying to balance work, treatment, and my responsibilities as a father of 2 daughters. I've been undergoing 5-day rounds of chemo and immunotherapy every three weeks, with my final round scheduled for October 21st.
Despite my best efforts, I can only work half the hours I was expected to, and my parents have generously stepped in to cover my bills, rent, and other expenses—totaling tens of thousands of dollars over the past year. Recently, I faced unexpected costs, including $4,700 for car repairs, tuition, and my new private health insurance deductible.
As of now, my rent is due, and I’m uncertain how I will manage the upcoming month's expenses. I’ve hesitated to ask for help, as my parents have already given so much, but I find myself in a position where I need to reach out for assistance.
I am humbly asking for any support you can offer. Your contributions will help cover my rent and essential living expenses, allowing me to focus on my health and my girls without the constant worry of financial strain.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering supporting my journey. Any amount, big or small, makes a difference and is deeply appreciated.
With gratitude,
The Becker Family
