My husband Michael has recently been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, and the cancer has spread to his heart. This news has turned our world upside down. Michael does not have insurance, and we are unable to afford a caregiver. As his wife, I want to be by his side and provide the care he needs at home, but this means I will need to step away from work and focus on supporting him through this incredibly difficult time.

The financial strain is overwhelming. The funds raised here will go directly toward Michael’s medical bills, transportation to and from appointments, and our daily living expenses. Every dollar will help us keep up with the mounting costs and allow me to stay home and care for Michael as he faces this battle.

I don’t usually ask for help, but during this process I will need help. I appreciate any help given. I know times are rough for so many people right now and I would not ask if I had any other options. Thank you all more than you can imagine for any and all help during this difficult time.
