Arvontez Family Need Your Support
Donation protected
On January 18, 2023, Arvontez ‘TEZ’ Abbey was diagnosed with Ependymoma, which is a rare, cancerous tumor that forms in the brain and spinal cord. After Tez was diagnosed with ependymoma, he underwent surgery to remove the cancer from his brain. After Tez recovered from the surgery, he underwent radiation to prevent the cancer from returning. Tez went through a series of scans which showed the cancer was gone, and he was in the clear for a year and a half. Unfortunately, Tez started not feeling well and was taken to the hospital. Doctors performed scans which showed the cancer was back on his brain and had spread to his spinal cord. Tez then again went through radiation and was feeling better.
In December of 2024, the doctors said the cancer is aggressive and spreading all over his brain and spine, and there is nothing more they can do. January 17,2025 Tez transitioned to the other side . Tez was the second child of 3 other children, and his mother doesn’t have any help and is currently not working so she needs financial assistance for bills and It's with great humility that I ask for your help. Any contribution you can make will be essential to ensure that we can provide Tez’s family with the comfort and help with the financial strain this has caused the family.
If you cannot contribute financially, please help us by sharing our story with friends and family.
