Those of you who know me, know I absolutely hate asking for help. The first time through treatment, we had some help from our employer (which we will forever be grateful for), government-funded assistance, and loans. I went into over $100k in medical debt to get into remission last time. This time, the government-funded assistance has been cut due to lack of funding, and I am out of options. If it was up to me, I would let nature run its course and the clock run out; but I cannot leave this debt to be my wife's problem, so I have to fight this cancer again. We have also delayed our coffee shop/horror spot in hopes that I can beat this again and we can open in the future.

I have to travel to Houston for another round of treatment and get treatment here in the midwest for a total of around $100k, without it, I will more than likely not be alive in a year or two if not sooner. We are currently very financially strained due to me being out of work, fighting my previous employer on unpaid wages, expensive doctor appointments, and the raised cost of living. The money raised would go towards treatment costs, a couple of bills that are behind, and to help me get to Houston. This time around, it will be harder for me to cover the medical costs with debt because of the large debt from last time and the hit my credit score took during that time. I have already lost my car due to having to decide between staying alive or making a car payment and every month I don’t know how we are going to pay the mortgage or electric bill. 

I know times are rough for a lot of people right now, but any help would be appreciated as we take on this horrible journey again. Side note: at least I have a longer life expectancy this time around lol. The goal will continue to climb as I get more and more costs and debt accrued through this process.
