Help with Patrick’s fight against cancer
Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family,
I am reaching out to you today on behalf of my nephew Patrick, who is facing a difficult battle against recurrent melanoma. In 2017, Patrick received the heartbreaking diagnosis of melanoma and underwent surgery to remove a spot on his head and to remove lymph nodes in his neck. Unfortunately, we have recently learned that the cancer has returned and has spread to his spine, liver, and lungs. He has several masses in his neck that have metastasized causing fractures in his neck and lower back. Because of this, his mobility is very limited and he’s in a lot of pain. He’s currently in a neck brace to prevent any more damage to his spine.
This past Monday Patrick has started Immunotherapy treatment with Opdivo and Urvoy (sp). They also gave him Zometta which is a bone hardener to help his body endure the treatments to come.
As you all know, medical expenses can quickly pile up, and Patrick's treatment has been no exception. He has already accrued significant medical bills, and there are still ongoing and future expenses to consider. At the same time, Patrick has been unable to work due to his health condition, adding financial strain to an already difficult situation.
This is why we have set up this GoFundMe page to ask for your support. Every donation, no matter how small, will go directly towards covering Patrick’s medical bills, treatment costs, and living expenses so that he can focus on defeating melanoma without the added worry of financial burden.
Your donation will not only provide tangible financial assistance but will also serve as a powerful reminder to Patrick that he is surrounded by love and compassion as he fights this battle. Together, we can help alleviate some of the stress and anxiety that come with battling a serious illness and show Patrick that he is not alone.
Your generosity, whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign, will make a meaningful difference in Patricks's fight against melanoma.
With heartfelt gratitude,
The McGraw family
