Hi, my name is Ashley Banks, and I’m reaching out on behalf of my husband, Joe Banks, who is currently fighting for his life.

What began as stage 3 lung cancer has now spread to his spine and brain. Just recently, he underwent brain surgery to relieve the pressure and remove as much of the tumor as possible. He faces an uphill battle with more treatments ahead—radiation, targeted therapies, and continuous monitoring.

We’ve done everything we can to manage the costs, but the expenses are quickly piling up. Frequent specialist visits, lab work, CT scans, travel, and the cost of medications are more than we can handle on our own. I’m doing my best to support him while keeping our lives as stable as possible, but this journey is far more than we ever expected—physically, emotionally, and financially.

We’re asking for help—not because we want to, but because we need to. Every dollar will go directly toward his medical expenses and care. If you’re not able to give, please consider sharing this with others who might be able to help. And most importantly, keep Joe Banks in your prayers and thoughts.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your support—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual—means more than we can put into words.

With gratitude,

Ashley Banks
