Support Sam's Battle Against Throat Cancer

Help Me Beat Throat Cancer

Succumbing to crowd funding, I can't believe I'm here, but –Ugh, l was diagnosed with throat cancer and I just can't "walk off" cancer....l've tried. I'm currently healing from the first cancer surgery, but now the doctors have recommended immediate second surgery. Although I am doing everything I can to stay positive, this whole process has been nerve wracking and physically taxing. This is very hard for me to do as l am a private person and have a difficult time asking for help, but as I face this cancer, l have to admit I need financial support. There's an anxiety monkey riding my back that I cannot shake off, trying to cover the costs of the surgery, post-operative care, physical therapy, my daughters care, rent, car payments... you know; The costs of life, and all the things I can't do while trying to beat cancer. For those of you who have stumbled over my plea, that don't know me, my name is Sam, I'm 52 with a wonderful wife and beautiful daughter. I've been a touring and recording musician most of my life, you might know me from bands like The Mau Maus, $luts for Hire, The Leaving Trains, Fangs on Fur, Original Sinners, Mercy Killers, The Horrorpops... I support my family now in sales, but I've never been a person who needed the finer luxuries of life, just a roof, good conversations, a book, my guitar, making art and spending time with my family at home. I'm not asking you to donate, so l can buy something extra, l just need enough to cover expenses while I fight this, so l can live to see my daughter grow up. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering supporting me. I am grateful for any help you can provide, whether it's through a donation, sharing this fundraiser with your network, or sending words of encouragement.

Sam.
