My name is Joseph, and I recently received the life-changing news that I have stage 4 lymphoma cancer. This diagnosis has turned my world upside down, not only because of the health challenges I now face, but also because it has forced me to leave my job. As a parent to a one-year-old son, my biggest concern is making sure he is cared for and supported during this difficult time.

The journey ahead will be tough, but I am determined to fight with everything I have. The financial strain of medical treatments, combined with everyday living expenses and the cost of child care, has made things even more overwhelming. I want nothing more than to focus on my health and be there for my little boy, but I can’t do it alone.

I am reaching out to friends, family, and anyone who feels moved to help. Your support will go directly toward covering our living expenses and ensuring my son has the care he needs while I undergo treatment. It’s not easy having cancer, but I’m very optimistic and hopeful to be back up and running around with my baby boy one day. Thank you for any help you can give, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing my story.
