SGM Anthony Hemenes is a dear friend whom I have known for a very long time. He is also the President of the World Wide Kajukenbo Federation, a role that has taken him all around the world. Right now, he is in the hospital bravely battling cancer. As a single father of three young children—ages 13, 11, and 8—Anthony is facing not only the emotional and physical challenges of his illness, but also the overwhelming financial strain that comes with it. The mounting medical bills, combined with everyday expenses like the mortgage, utilities, food, and transportation, have become more than he can manage alone.

Anthony has always been a devoted father, a loyal friend, and a leader in the Kajukenbo community. He has helped many members over the years, never asking for anything in return. It’s heartbreaking to see him struggle to provide for his children while focusing on his recovery. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward easing the burden of his medical bills, keeping a roof over his family’s heads, and ensuring that his kids have what they need during this uncertain time. Any support will also help cover unexpected expenses that may arise, giving Anthony the peace of mind to focus on healing and caring for his children.

This is a difficult time in Anthony's life, and it's hard to believe he has cancer. He is determined to fight this demon with the help of friends, prayers, and any donation is appreciated. Please be advised that this is a second GoFundMe page, as the first one had some problems with people wanting to donate. Anthony is deeply grateful from the bottom of his heart for any help that is given. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference in his life and the lives of his children. Let's all step up and help SGM Hemenes at this time. Thank you for considering a donation and for supporting a family in need during this incredibly difficult journey.
