Help James fight cancer
Hi my name is Shelia Gaines and I am fundraising for my younger brother James Babineaux.
My name is James Lewis Babineaux Jr., and I am asking that you please help me and family during this difficult time. As a young man growing up with a single parent, I know what it means to fight through hard times. However, at 48 years of age, I am now facing the fight of my life – Lung Cancer!
During April we received the devastating news that changed my life and my family’s life. After several weeks of headaches (which I attributed to having a migraine) I began experiencing dizziness along with severe headaches. After a visit to the Emergency Room and a series of tests, I received the words that no one wants to ever hear or imagine – “James you have Lung Cancer” I have since had radiation treatments to reduce tumors and will begin additional treatments right away. There are many hard days ahead, but I know that God is able.
Because of the time away from work, I have had no steady income. My mom is 81, retired and unable to work. The medical and other bills are piling up and will certainly grow as my treatments continue. For those that know me, or my family know that I am quiet, to myself and do not like a lot of attention. When I was blessed to be able to work building Engines for several years, I took care of my mom, niece and great niece which meant so much. Those resources are depleted and it’s hard for me to say that it is me and my family that need help.
At this time we are asking for financial support to help with expenses and medical bills that continue to come in as I continue to fight this battle. We appreciate any support you can give. Every little bit helps us get through this time in my life. God Bless!
