Dear Friends,







Many of you may know about my health issues, and many of you may not. I have held off on taking this drastic step of asking for financial help, but my situation has gotten to a crisis point.







I am a family man, I am 32 with a wife and 18 month old son. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes and kidney cancer almost a year ago. Since then, despite continual extensive treatment and medication, my cancer has spread to other organs, requiring numerous surgical procedures. The surgeries resulted in infections, requiring more treatments. I have also been on Insulin, and have had to have Glucose monitors and patches, as well as regular Dialysis treatments.







About three weeks ago I tested positive for Covid-19, and was hospitalized for over two weeks. The virus and the treatment for the virus resulted in a big set back for my kidneys, which are now in danger of failing again despite frequent dialysis and painful injections. There are still cancerous growths on my kidneys.







Needless to say, the cost of all of the surgeries, medical treatments, prescriptions, and immunotherapy injections has been astronomical. I have been able to continue to work - lately on a reduced salary due to my extended sick leave – and I do have insurance through my employer, but it has covered only a minimal amount of these expenses. Often the procedures and medications are simply not covered at all. My medical expenses far outweigh my income.







My parents have done everything they can to help me, going through their savings, refinancing their house, and racking up huge credit card bills. In the past month alone, it has cost them upwards of $450 a day. Obviously this is not a sustainable situation for them.







I realize my goal amount is high. I will need continued treatment in the form of medications to treat my kidney failure and the cancer, as well as frequent dialysis. I will also continue to need daily treatment for diabetes. I am Any amount you feel you are able to give is appreciated more than you know. You can use Venmo if that works better for you: @John-Wilcox-0524.



My soon to be wife, Heather Kibler is listed as my beneficiary, as she handles all of the billing, and payment of expenses, as it is difficult for me to do so.





I appreciate your supportive messages and good thoughts for my recovery even if you are unable to help with a monetary donation.
