Help Sam's Family with Cancer Expenses

Hi, I'm Sam and I'm going through the horrors of losing a nut to cancer and not having the plot end there. I let y'all know I'd be e-begging, so here it is! A lovely friend wrote a very flattering blurb about me, and I hope that this request for aid can be shared around. Thanks so much for allowing me to create such a robust community network from which to tap in, thanks in advance for all support:

Help Sam Marcus Fight Cancer: A Community Advocate in Need

Sam Marcus, a dedicated non-binary Chicano activist and tireless advocate as a peer support specialist, has worked closely with marginalized communities, providing much-needed guidance, compassion, and strength to those who often feel unheard.

Their commitment to creating a more inclusive and supportive society is unwavering. Now, Samuel finds themself in a position where they need the very same compassion they have shown others.

Recently diagnosed with Stage 2B Seminoma, Sam has begun the challenging process of chemotherapy. This battle has not only been physically and emotionally draining but has also placed a significant financial strain on their life. Medical bills continue to mount, and maintaining basic necessities like rent, food, and utilities has become increasingly difficult.

Despite the hardship, Sam remains resilient and determined to continue their advocacy work, and even continuing their college career, but they can't do it alone. They are asking for the support of their community—people who believe in their mission and have witnessed the positive impact of their work.

By contributing to this GoFundMe, you’re not only helping to cover essential treatment costs but also ensuring that Sam can continue to live with dignity while focusing on healing.

Any donation, whether large or small, will make a meaningful difference. Together, we can help Sam face this fight head-on and remind them that the community they’ve spent years supporting is standing firmly by their side.

Please consider donating to help Sam through this incredibly difficult time. Your support will ease their financial burden and provide the strength they need to keep moving forward. Thank you for being part of Sam’s journey.
