couple years ago my wife and I were able to buy our own big rig and become self employed truck drivers.  We tried to get medical insurance and kept getting denied because I am on a cpap Machine and blood pressure Medicine.  2 months ago I finally got some insurance. went to a Dr. 2 yrs ago over swelling in my throat. biopsy came back negative inconclusive.  I just had a new Biopsy done and found for a less technical term. I have tongue cancer.  it's curable but 16,000 deductible and co pay.  Plus I can't drive truck for 3 months. The loss of income will cripple us.  I lost everything once before in 2008. my wife and I hall refrigerated food. we've drove through the whole pandemic. we are essential workers. I don't want to loose everything again. My wife don't deserve going through living in a camp trailer again for 5 years. I've always worked hard all my life. I've never asked for help until now.  I've always helped others in my life.  

I have to come up with the 16,000 by this Friday. once I do there is still other bills coming in.  I don't know how I'm going to react to the chemo therapy and the Radiation therapy. but, the cancer is curable with this treatment. I've never had it so hard to get medical insurance as now.  i've never really had a need for it until now. 

 After all the committees and donation of time to the Little League, Sites Plateau pines subdivision committee, Boy scouts of America, Hwy 44 Safety Committee in Shingletown Ca. I hope people can see to help me out. 
 
 Thanks for taking the time to read my request.
