Max' Second Battle With Cancer
Donation protected
Seven years ago Max Samu was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (The Good Cancer!). Max never lost his positive, and cheerful attitude, and along with his wonderful team of doctors, and nurses in Glens Falls, NY, and support of his family (plus 3 months of Chemotherapy, and 2 months of Radiation) he beat it. While everything had been put on hold during the treatment, and recovery, Max moved forward and started to live his life again.
Max graduated from college, married his beautiful wife Sarah, and had his son Jack. He moved his family to Brooklyn to begin his career in the movie/television industry. During the last two plus years Max has been working as a Production Assistant on the CBS show Elementary, Starz’ Power, and HBO’s Vinyl to name a few. He is right on track for his “dream job” of being a Script Supervisor in the next year.
In August 2015 Max was given his 6-year “clean bill of health badge” (if there is such a thing) and Max and Sarah decided it was now time to add to their family. Their Christmas present to us was the news that another baby is on its way. It sounded like a storybook beginning.
In February 2016 the ever-diligent Max found 4 small lumps on the side of his neck. Max made the trip to Glens Falls to see his oncologist the following week. Three weeks later Max was admitted to Sloan Kettering Hospital with Acute t-cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia . He will be in the hospital for a minimum of 4 weeks getting Chemotherapy with two years of follow-up chemo, and drug therapy.
Max, Sarah, Jack and New Baby Samu are reaching out to family, and friends, and the extended Go Fund Me family for help with what are sure to be large hospital bills and household expenses mostly rent and food. Max will obviously not be working for many months.
Max is an amazing father, and husband; he has worked hard, taken risks, and supported his family for the past 2 years. Jack and baby #2, who is due in September, are lucky to have such a positive and selfless person as a dad.
Max & Sarah would love to be able to keep their Brooklyn apartment so they can stay close to the hospital, Max’ work, and the friends they and Jack have made in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
Please consider any donation to help the Samu family in their time of need. Our most sincere thanks for helping in any way you can.
