Almost everyone knows me as a very optimistic person, always cracking jokes and sharing funny stories with friends and family. Since the 1990s, I've been a huge car enthusiast for building cars with my family, attending car shows with my kids, and sharing my funny experiences with others no matter where I’m at. I love making people happy and laugh as a morning routine, whether it's through little videos, jokes on social media, or just spending as much time together.

Over the past year, things have gotten tough. It's been harder to do the things I love, and even sharing my thoughts on social media or creating videos has become a challenge. In 2026, I started noticing it was much more difficult to breathe, move, and even talk for any length of time. After seeing my doctor, I was diagnosed with thymus cancer in my chest. My doctor told me it’s a rare cancer, and only 1.5 people out of a million can get it. The tumor is about the size of a grapefruit—10 cm big, right in the middle of my chest. Even though it’s pushing against my heart and lungs, I still smile and crack a joke or 2 about it. But this news has devastated my family and me as well.

All I'm really asking for is the chance to spend more time with my family while I go through diagnostics, pay for medical treatment, and cover living expenses while I'm out of work. The operation to remove the tumor will be pretty intensive since it is so large, and I'll need a couple of weeks to months to recover after surgery. Any help you can offer—whether it's donating, sharing my story, or sending encouragement—would mean the world to me. Thank you for supporting me during this difficult time.
