Support Rob Rothman: Cancer Battle & Staying in Long Beach

Hi everyone. As many of you know, I am being forced out of my home of 12.5 years due to the house being sold. This is happening during the most vulnerable time of my life. I am battling cancer and will be undergoing Proton therapy radiation treatment. I have been told it can last up to 4 months. I will need to commute back and forth to the city 5 days a week for 1 hour treatments during that span. On top of that I have to move during the most expensive time of the year for rentals. After much deliberation and hesitation I have concluded that I am in a situation where I cant do it alone and need help to bridge the gap. I want to stay in Long Beach, I want to continue to contribute to this great city by the sea as I have for 50 years now, however I need some assistance. Some if not many of you know my story...my mother passing at the age of 49 after a long bout with cancer, my Linda passing away suddenly, and me fighting alcoholism in my 20's. And now all of this. I still continue to stay positive, continue to help others as my mom and Linda have.

I know times are tough for a lot of people right now and asking for help is one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I have always been the lender, not the borrower and that makes this even more difficult. But I believe in community, and in that possibility that with some help things will get better.

If you are reading this, you are part of the community. Your support, whether financial, emotional or spiritual means the world to me. Funds that are raised will help with my living expenses and transportation to and from my cancer treatments in the city while I focus on healing and rebuilding my life. If you are able to donate, thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you cannot, please share this, or simply say a prayer. Everything is deeply appreciated.

Thank you so much for reading, your words of support and kindness and being a part of my journey.

With Love and tremendous gratitude,

Rob Rothman.
