Chris' Cancer fund and Family support

Donation protected
In June of this year our family was hit with some of the worst news imaginable, my partner of 12 years Chris, at just 35 years old was diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma cancer. Within weeks it became Stage 4 and we have been battling it hard. Immunotherapy, radiation. We thought we could get an handle on this monster but on September 18th Chris was admitted to the hospital due to a decline of grip in both hands and an elevated Heart Rate. After testing they found a tumor had started growing on his spine, pressing on the vertebrae and crushing it, while also wrapping around nerves.. He had to undergo surgery to remove both the tumor and some vertebrae, installing two rods and screws to stabilize the spine.

As of last week (Oct 9th) more tumors have been found and Chris is now going through Chemo and dialysis. During all of this Chris hasn't been able to work and we are falling behind on bills and rent. Every last cent donated will be used to keep a home around us, food in our fridge and help us pay for medical expenses as they come. We welcome and appreciate any amount you can donate in our time of need.
