Help support Justin and his medical expenses
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jessica, I am starting this GoFundMe on behalf of our dear friend Justin Andres. Justin was recently diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer that has spread to his liver. He is only 36 years old, this is not something anyone at that age expects to hear. It is hard to be prepared for the trying times that accompany a diagnosis like that. With the help of his family, we decided to move forward with this fundraiser to try to help alleviate some of his financial burdens. He started his medical leave of absence from his job at Schwans in Marshall last week as he starts his treatment. He has not been able to work full time for a little while now since he has had to go to so many doctor appointments and did not feel well. He has had one round of chemotherapy so far and will continue treatment for 3-4 months. The next step after chemotherapy will be either surgery or radiation. If you who know Justin, you know he is the last person to ask for help. He is so independent and does not like to impose on anyone else, but if you needed him, he would be there for you in a heartbeat. Even the strongest people need a helping hand sometimes. If you are able to help in any way, any generosity would be greatly appreciated. Most importantly, please keep Justin and his family in your prayers. They are very close and this has been hard on all of them. Justin is a fighter and says he WILL beat this!!
I will provide updates as I receive them.
