My name is Joshua, and I’m reaching out during the most difficult chapter of my life. I was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer, and while I’m doing my best to stay strong, the reality of my situation has made it hard to keep up with everyday expenses. I’m hoping to raise funds to help cover my groceries, gas to get to and from appointments, and to make some lasting memories with my son Reid.

Right now, things have piled up and I feel like I’m drowning, but I want everyone to know this won’t be an ongoing thing. I am committed to figuring out how to support myself and my son in the long run, but at this moment, I need help to get through these immediate challenges. This diagnosis has changed everything for me. I want to spend the time I have left focusing on the people and moments that matter most, especially my son, not worrying about being a burden to those I love. Every donation, no matter the size, will help me manage the costs of my care, daily life, and give me the peace of mind to make the most of the time I have left with Reid.

To anyone who donates to my GoFundMe, just know I’m extremely grateful and thankful for your existence in this crazy world. I have less than a year left according to my doctors, and your support means more than words can say. Thank you for helping me find hope and comfort during this time.
