Fighting Colon Cancer: My journey began on my birthday 10-14-2023. I was diagnosed with stage 2 colon cancer.
I was all set for a new chapter in Arizona, bidding farewell to Oregon and Washington. I was ready to "thrive" in the sunshine with family, but fate had other plans. Cancer disrupted my move; a 7 cm tumor in my rectum altered everything.
Treatment began with radiation, chemotherapy, and then surgery. Arizona had to wait, and my once-thriving income has dwindled due to the toll of cancer treatment.
This donation page is a plea for help during my life-changing existence while undergoing treatment. Cancer's side effects and daily treatment have taken a toll on my health. I have been in the hospital a few times recently. I have lost 50 lbs, chemo has affected my physical health. The financial struggle is real. I have been unable to work very much.
The good news is that the surgery worked! Doctors successfully removed the tumor!!! I have another surgery coming up. I hope to return to some normalcy next year!

This year I could use financial assistance. With the unwavering support of friends, family, prayers, and your donations, I hope for a return to the top of my dreams and goals better than before.
Please donate anything you can – small contributions add up, and monthly support is a lifeline. All funds will be dedicated to my recovery. They are tax deductible and you will receive a receipt.
I appreciate any help you can provide. Together, WE GOT THIS!
