Gabe’s 2nd Round Chemo Expenses
Donation protected
Hello friends, family and kind strangers, my name is Cassandra and I am Gabriel’s younger sister. My brother has a tumor on his C-2 bone, a vital bone located in his neck, which requires surgery to be removed. After surgery, Gabe will go through another intense round of chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Meanwhile, he and his wife Natalie are still financially recovering from his previous battle with cancer throughout the past two years, and need donations for transportation, medical supplements, groceries, and pet food for their two dogs and cat.
In July of 2021, my brother was 30 years old when he was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma/PNET, a rare bone cancer. The doctors told him he had six months to live, but after intense chemotherapy and radiation treatment, my brother was cancer free in January of 2023. The happiness was short-lived. Ten months was all it took for the cancer to rear its ugly head and once again place an emotional and financial burden upon my brother. Ten months of wondering, met with disaster.
My brother was close to returning to work in public health and emergency management, but is unable to due to his fragile condition. Natalie has done an amazing job working full-time and finishing a degree in Nursing while my brother was in recovery. Unfortunately, they still need help due to their recent hardships.
It means the world to me as Gabe’s sister, to watch my family, friends, and general community come together at such an impossible time. My brother is one of the hardest workers I have ever known, and it pains me to see him go through this again just when it seemed like it was over. Your donations will go a long way towards easing the financial burden brought once again by cancer. With your donations my brother can focus on fighting.
Anything will help. We will win this one too.
