Support Joshua Ray Walker’s fight against colon cancer

Donation protected
This gofundme will go towards my cost of living and out-of-pocket health expenses while I continue to fight cancer. I was diagnosed with Stage 3B colon cancer in January of 2024. Since then, I’ve undergone an extensive surgery, 6 months of chemotherapy, and a ton of tests, procedures, and doctor's visits. Unfortunately, I was recently informed that my cancer has unexpectedly spread to both of my lungs, and it will likely be re-staged to Stage 4 upon an upcoming lung biopsy. Radiation and other potential treatment options will follow.

As my treatment plans change, more medical needs are falling outside of my medical insurance coverage. I am doing my best to advocate for myself with my insurance provider, apply for financial aid, grants, and charities, but a lot of the time, the care needed is unexpected and time-sensitive. Your support of this campaign would allow me to dedicate 100% of my time to my health and well-being, allow me to pay my out-of-pocket medical expenses, and most important of all, it would allow me to be present with family and friends during this precious time.

It has been very important to me that I continue to work as much as possible throughout my cancer fight and remain financially independent, but there are many unknowns moving forward with treatment. It's unclear what kind of effect radiation will have on my lungs, but it is certainly worrisome for someone whose livelihood depends heavily on singing. I admit that my pride is what kept me from asking for help sooner, but given this latest unexpected turn in my cancer status, I’m ready to accept your support if you have the means to help.
