Dear friends and family,

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support you have already shown me throughout this challenging time. I am forever grateful for your love, kindness, and generosity. As of today, I am now facing a confirmed diagnosis of metastatic rectal cancer. The cancer has spread to nearby organs, lymph nodes, and muscle tissue.

The road ahead of me is difficult and the outcome is uncertain, but I am placing every ounce of strength I have left into fighting for my life. I am humbly asking for help, as I must endure aggressive treatments over the next several months; including 2 surgeries and a combination of chemotherapy and radiation.

Any donations received will assist me in receiving essential treatments and help relieve the crushing financial burden this disease and its awful symptoms have inflicted on me over the past few months.

I understand that not everyone may be in a position to contribute financially, and that's absolutely okay. Your emotional support, thoughts, and prayers mean the world to me. If financial assistance isn't feasible, kindly consider sharing my GoFundMe campaign within your network.

Again, I'd like to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the unwavering love, support, and positivity you've shared with me now, and throughout my life. Your presence has been an unwavering source of strength, and I'm truly grateful to have you as part of my journey, however long that may be.

Much love and God bless,

Benny
