Support Edwin's Wife Alex in her time of need

Donation protected
It is with the heaviest of hearts that I give this update. Edwin left this earth on April 5th. We are devastated and at a loss for the right words. Alex's sweet husband is gone and her heart is broken, as is his family.

Alex will be experiencing a lot of changes, and one of those is a significant loss to her income, and she has so much to cover still. We're diligently working on things but she does need help financially.

I can't make everything better but we can all try to make sure Alex is taken care of, like Edwin would have wanted. Please give if you can, and keep her and the family in your prayers.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ.
As we continue on this journey with Alex and Edwin, and meeting with multiple doctors yesterday, time is of the essence. Edwin needs to find a clinical trial or alternative medicine pathway immediately. We are deeply concerned about cost of these remedies. Eventually Alex may not be able to work and they will have very limited income. We thank you for your patience as more continues to be revealed. They are trying to keep up hope but they need all hands on deck to find a clinical trial and assist them with these impending costs. Please reach out to me, Alex or Edwin if you have any questions or options for help, and continue sharing this page. Thank you

UPDATE: After speaking with Edwin and Alex, we've gone over the real expenses they're going to incur. As a friend, I didn't realize how long the process may take and their actual medical bills. With this in mind we've decided to increase the goal. They are humbled by the generosity of everyone. Thank you so much!

As many of you may know, my best friend Alexandra’s husband, Edwin, is fighting cancer. They have valued their privacy throughout this journey, but circumstances have changed and they now truly need help.

Alex and Edwin have only been married two short years after waiting a lifetime to find each other. Watching them face this has been heartbreaking. Edwin has been undergoing chemotherapy for weeks, but it is no longer working. He now needs to begin a clinical trial, which will require travel and bring significant additional expenses.

Because Edwin is currently unable to work, Alexandra will be the sole provider on a teacher’s salary while also caring for her husband through treatment. The financial strain is overwhelming, and they cannot get through this alone.

Any amount you’re able to give will make a real difference and help give them the fighting chance they deserve. If you prefer to donate directly, you can support Alexandra through:

Zelle: message me or reach out to Alex or Edwin for their zelle info.
CashApp: $EdwinandAlex

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this message is just as meaningful and helps reach others who may be able to help.

Thank you so much for your kindness, love, and support.
