hello, my name is Steve Maciel, and I am reaching out to you during one of the most challenging times in my life.was shot in the chest July 27th 2024 on cedar and Illinois. after being shot about 6 months I was going through a lot I started to get sick.I have been diagnosed with a liver Mass and cirrhosis to the liver a tumor in live I got a tumor in each of my kidneys which could potentially be liver cancer . this news has turned my world upside down and I am struggling to cope with the medical expenses and emotional toll it has taken on me.

I am asking for your support to help cover transportation cost medical bills and necessary medications every donation no matter how small will be used responsible to aid in my treatment and recovery . I never imagined I would find myself in this position but I have lost my home and many things I once held dear due to my illness. I can't pay my bills. My credit score has shot way down. I'm not one to ask for donations but ask God for help everyday when I wake up . I have been seeing different specialists from my illnesses and transportation is in one of the most hardest for me. If I miss an appointment I have to wait 2 weeks just to make another one.

thank you to everyone who has already donated or taken the time to read my story. your kindness means more than words can express I also want to extend my gratitude to my mother for her acknowledging support during this difficult journey. She helps me out with so much already. She gives me donations for myself to get by once a month anywhere from 150 to 200 but she's been my rock ever since I've gotten sick and it's taking a toll on her I know. I'm asking for a little help in my journey of illnesses I had lost my sister a year and a half ago over the same thing she was only 52.

sincerely.

Steve Maciel
