Help Support Tom’s Battle Against Lymphatic Cancer
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,
I am writing this with a heavy heart to share the story of an extraordinary man, my father-in-law, Tom, who is currently fighting a courageous battle against lymphatic cancer. This journey has been incredibly challenging, not just for Tom but for all of us who love him. We are reaching out to seek your support to help him through this difficult time.
Lymphatic cancer, also known as lymphoma, is a type of cancer that originates in the lymphatic system—a crucial component of our immune system. This system is responsible for filtering harmful substances from our bodies and fighting infections. When lymphoma develops, abnormal lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) grow and multiply uncontrollably. This can lead to swollen lymph nodes, fever, weight loss, and extreme fatigue, among other severe symptoms. Unfortunately, Tom has been heavily affected by this aggressive disease, which has left him unable to work. The toll it has taken on his body and spirit is heartbreaking.
As Tom undergoes chemotherapy, he faces not only the physical challenges of the treatment but also the financial burden that comes with it. His insurance is unable to cover all of his medical treatments and necessary medications, leaving him with mounting bills that are becoming increasingly difficult for him and our family to manage. With no income coming in, the financial strain has added an extra layer of stress during an already challenging time.
Tom is truly an amazing person, but what makes him even more special is his role as a Papa to his five grandchildren. He has always been there for them, showering them with love, guidance, and unforgettable memories. He is the kind of person who puts others before himself, always ready to lend a helping hand or offer a listening ear. He has been a rock for my husband and me, providing support when we needed it the most. Now, it’s our turn to rally around him and give back the love he so selflessly shares with everyone.
We are asking for your support to help cover his medical treatments and the overwhelming bills that have come with his diagnosis. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in his journey toward recovery. Your generosity will help ensure that Tom can focus on what truly matters—his health and well-being, as well as creating more cherished moments with his grandchildren.
Please consider donating or sharing this campaign. Together, we can show Tom the love and support he deserves during this difficult time. Your kindness and compassion mean the world to us.
Thank you for taking the time to read Tom’s story and for any support you can offer. Let’s come together to help this remarkable man fight his battle with the same strength and resilience he has always shown to those around him.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Jesse Nelson
Any amount left over would go for Tom’s life long dream of a CD of his original music to be professionally recorded with his musical friends. So let’s give him his wish and help him to get this done.
Thank you
Joshua Kloyda,
LONG LIVE THIS YA YA BOY
