Drakes travel expenses
Donation protected
Drake Pikschus is a 24 year old man, he grew up in the foster system and has always had a rougher life then most, I've seen this man fight in many ways, someone his age shouldn't have to go through. Even through a tough life, Drake has always been one to help other with what he can, and when he can. He's always had a good heart and has always brought joy and laughter into peoples lives.
Earlier this year, Drake had a couple doctors visits due to pain in the lower genital region of his body. This is when he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer. Through many doctor visits, he had gone under surgery to get it removed. However, after a successful removal and undergoing more scans to make sure the cancer was out of his body, he found out the cancer had spread throughout his system.
Drake did go through chemotherapy treatment to try and rid of the cancer, but the treatment soon failed after a couple months, as teratoma cancer is one if the most rare types of cancer, it did not affect it. Most recently, Drake was scheduled for surgery to try and remove this cancer sometime in november. But after many conferences between doctors to get a plan in place, it was decided it was too high of risk. This is when Drake had found out that there is nothing more the doctors could do for him, but allow him to have more time.
My name's Brandon Donnelly, I've been drake's best friend for as long as I can remember, he's been one of the coolest dudes I've know, sharing love and laughs with everyone he comes across. The guy's got a good heart, and I'm trying to help in every way I can. So, I've created this gofundme page to further help drake with what time he has left. Ive spoken to him about what he wanted in that time and he wants to travel, however cannot due to being short on funds. All proceeds made from this go directly to drake to allow him to travel and see the world while he can. If you're unable to donate, that's okay. Reach out to drake, either through facebook or me. He's helps all our lives in some way, lets support him in helping his.
