Dewayne Johnson v Monsanto Support
Donation protected
Help Support a Hero, standing up to two of the biggest battles of his life: Cancer and Monsanto!
This fundraiser is to raise money to help Dewayne "Lee" Johnson and his family during one of the most difficult times a person can through. Lee is sick with a blood cancer ( likely caused by Monsanto's weedkiller and pesticide Roundup. ) Lee is currently in court during his trial against Monsanto. Any monies raised will help offset any costs needed during this very stressful time for Lee and his family.

'The lawsuit alleges exposure to Monsanto’s Roundup weed killer and its active ingredient, glyphosate, caused Northern California resident Dewayne Lee Johnson to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
Lee Johnson worked as a groundskeeper for the Benicia Unified School District in the San Francisco Bay Area. Between 2012 and 2015, part of Mr. Johnson’s job was to apply Monsanto herbicides to school properties.
In 2014, Lee began to experience severe skin irritation, which he reported to health care providers. He also contacted Monsanto, asking if his skin irritation could have been caused by his use of Roundup. Internal Monsanto emails later obtained by Lee’s attorneys show that his queries concerning Roundup were discussed among company employees. However, Monsanto never responded to Mr. Johnson, so he continued to use Roundup.
In August of 2014, Lee was diagnosed with epidermotropic T-cell lymphoma. After his diagnosis, his job still required him to apply and be in close contact with Monsanto glyphosate-based herbicides. Despite enduring chemotherapy treatments throughout 2015, Mr. Johnson’s cancer progressed. In September 2017, a biopsy revealed mycosis fungoides (non-Hodgkin lymphoma with large cell transformation).
Mr. Johnson filed a Roundup cancer lawsuit against Monsanto in 2016. He is represented by the Miller Firm and Baum, Hedlund, Aristei & Goldman.'

PAY IT FORWARD: I know the struggle of fighting for health while being ripped apart financially. People donated money to help offset my costs of treatment for blood cancer and the travel to have the care. I started this fundraiser for Lee as a show of love, support and solidarity. #PayItForward
