Tough as Tony: Fighting Lymphoma Together

My dad’s life changed almost overnight. What started as mysterious pain and swelling led to a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in his stomach. His care team has already drained over 20 pounds of fluid from his abdomen, placed a port, and they are starting him on chemotherapy right away.

The tumor is too large to operate on and is pressing on a major midline vein, making this an especially difficult and dangerous fight.

This illness has forced him out of work, leaving him without income at the exact moment medical bills and expenses are piling up. Our family is doing everything we can, but we cannot do this alone.

I am assisting him with applying for SSI and other assistance, but as many of you know, that process takes time and will not cover all of his needs. This fundraiser will help bridge the gap so he can focus on healing instead of worrying about how to make ends meet.

We are asking for help to cover:

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a real difference in easing the financial strain so my dad can focus on healing. If you cannot donate, please share this page with others. Time is critical, and we are so grateful for any support you can give.
