Help Tabatha's Dad Fight Multiple Myeloma

Donation protected
Hi,

I have created this to help raise funds for my dad. He was recently diagnosed with a rare blood cancer called multiple myeloma. After going back and forth with multiple doctor's appointments, and after discovering a lump on his neck, several biopsies later we finally received the news. While multiple myeloma does not have a cure at this time, our goal is to begin his induction treatment immediately. This will hopefully place him in a deep response, and we can continue monitoring him until he needs more treatment, which would either be CAR-T cell therapy or a stem cell transplant. He is currently insured; however, we've been burdened with a weekly payment of almost $2,000 in order for him to receive his induction therapy for this year. While we are actively researching grants, financial aid assistance, and other assistance programs, I've decided to create a GoFundMe to hopefully alleviate the financial stress since he will not be able to work. All the funds will go directly to him to pay for his weekly treatments. If you cannot donate, we ask that you please share. In addition to this GoFundMe, my husband Ramon will be creating a special T-shirt line, and those funds will also be donated to his medical expenses as well. Thank you all for taking the time to read this, and I will provide updates when possible.
