My name is Anthony and I was diagnosed with Lymphoma in February. I am currently at stage 4 and have been receiving chemotherapy since March. 8th, 2021. The reason for making this GoFundMe is to assist me during this tough time and help give me a peace of mind since I have been out of work soon after my diagnosis. In October of 2020, I began to notice I was no longer able to breath through either of my nostrils. I got tested for Covid and tested negative, this led me to believe that I might have been experiencing allergies so I ignored the problem. This lasted for months before I decided to seek help in February and was given the bad news. A few weeks ago, I contracted Covid. This was a huge scare to me due to the chemotherapy weakening my immune system. This had a physical and mental tax on me on top of having stage 4 cancer and undergoing chemo. I was told to come to the hospital to receive treatment (Monoclonal antibodies) and I honestly feared for my life. After beating Covid, I started to realize all of the expenses were adding up, the Uber rides back and forth to the hospital, the medication, all while still paying for my monthly bills and food for my dog.

I don't know what the future holds for me as far as the cancer goes; but I'm still trying to survive from a financial standpoint. I lost my job and health insurance due to the cancer. Although I have savings, they're starting to run thin. Paying for school, transportation, medication, and rent amongst other bills, it's starting to become hard to fund my new lifestyle. Most likely, I won’t be able to afford my current apartment for much longer and feel as my next step is to find some where cheaper; but living in New York, it is almost impossible. I'm worried that even after my lease is up, I wont be able to find some where to live that'll accept someone who isn't working so I would prefer to stay where I currently am. The chemotherapy makes me feel too weak to work a job so I feel I have no other choice but to seek financial support. I have until August 1st to come up with enough money that'll last me until next year where I would presumably feel better based on what the doctors have told me. I thank everyone for their support whether you can donate or not just sharing this can help me get back on my feet.
