Matthew is 22 years old, teaches karate to little kids
puts ketchup on his eggs
and Matthew has stage II colon cancer. He’s currently on Chemotherapy and needs your help.
Matthew
just completed his first round of chemotherapy and the symptoms are
starting to arise. loss of hair, weightloss and bruises on his skin. As a
friend it’s very hard to watch someone who could kick literal butt go
through this.
I can’t even imagine how hard it is on him.
Matthew
is struggling, he’s already $30,000 in debt and this is his first
treatment with at least 5 more to go. To make things worse Matthew
isn’t getting any support from his family. Matthew recently came out to
them and he’s been disowned by his family and church, just for being
who he is. Kicked to the curb and relying on friends for a place to
sleep, and now it could also kill him, without the financial support he
needs he can’t afford the treatments necessary to save his life.
Insurance only pays for so much and experimental treatments aren’t
covered.
My name is Adam, and I love Matthew.
He’s homeless and
now not getting the treatment he needs because of me. Matt came out to
his family and he did it for me and now he’s living from couch to couch
while working three jobs all to pay for medical treatment he needs. His dad told him he has cancer because of his lifestyle and it’s God’s punishment. I think Matt believes him. Matt strips at night and makes good money doing this but It’s hard on his body and he gets weak easily now. He can’t teach Karate anymore as the chemo has made his cartilage weak, he has a dislocated rib now.
He needs your help, I need your help. I can’t live without him and he’s too good for all this bad to happen to him.
Please,
please, share this, donate what you can, anything and every little
thing you can do helps. Every penny will go to treatment and anything
left over will go to cancer research if we reach our goal. Were
expecting another $60-80,000 in medical treatment. Any left over
proceeds will be donated to The Children’s Cancer Research Fund. http://www.childrenscancer.org/
Please, no amount is too small, a few cents can make a difference.
As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.
