Dear friends, acquaintances, and kind-hearted individuals who come across my story,
I hope this message finds you well. My name is Christopher, and I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart and a humble request for support during a challenging period.
Recently, I received the devastating news of a throat cancer diagnosis. The recommended course of action involves immediate radiation therapy, which my Medicare Advantage plan thankfully covers. However, my journey towards recovery is hindered by a crucial obstacle: the need for dental work before commencing the treatment.
My doctor has advised me to address dental concerns before starting radiation therapy, as dental issues may not heal properly post-treatment. The estimated cost for the necessary dental procedures is $6,000. While this may seem like a substantial amount, it is a critical step in ensuring the success of my cancer treatment.
In addition to the dental expenses, I find myself in a predicament regarding my living expenses. I have been making ends meet by driving with Uber for 40-45 hours per week, bringing in approximately $800 after covering car expenses. Unfortunately, due to the impending radiation therapy, I will be unable to drive for the next three months, leaving me in a financially precarious situation.
I am reaching out to you, my community, with the hope that you might consider extending a helping hand during this difficult time. In addition to the dental bill and general living expenses, I will also need to budget for food, amounting to $1,000 to $1,500 for the next three months. Your generosity will provide me with the peace of mind needed to focus on my health and recovery without the added stress of financial strain.
I calculate I will need $20,000 to carry me through the next few months.
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact on my journey to overcome this challenging chapter. If you are unable to contribute financially, your thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement are equally cherished.
Your support means the world to me, and I am immensely grateful for any assistance you can offer.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and considering supporting me during this challenging time. Together, we can make a difference and help me move towards a brighter and healthier future.
With heartfelt gratitude,
