Pay for my immediate medical bills
Donation protected
I have recently been diagnosed w/non-Hotchkins lymphoma, which was found on a small tumor on the right side of my face. I am living and receiving treatment in Mexico, of which medical costs are significantly less than in the US. As well as the removal of the tumor, I was treated for severe anemia which was the result of a lesion in my stomach. I had 4 units of blood added to my body. The anemic condition occurred 6 years ago by the Veteran’s Administration in San Francisco - the doctor informed me that "whatever I had had stopped and I was OK now,” sending me home w/a script of iron pills - they never found or investigated the reason for my condition. The doctors here concluded that blood has been slowly leaking through the afore mentioned lesion over the years, hence the reoccurrence of extreme blood loss. I am now preparing for cancer treatment at a local hospital. I have sold my car and maxed my credit card to pay for the tumor removal operation and laser sealing of the lesion. I have yet to begin the recommended cancer treatment - radiation and/or chemo therapy. I currently live, along w/my wife, on Social Security of under $1000 per month. The VA has denied me any pension for my 18 months of service, of which I volunteered at age 19 for Vietnam, four times. I am now out of resources, and truly need financial assistance for the cancer treatment. I am 67 years old and have been married to my wonderful and loving wife less than a year. I am a believer of God and pray that He may touch some hearts to assist me in my quest for life at this stage and age. Thank you for your consideration.
