Isaac Martin Cancer Fund

Donation protected

11/20/2021:  As many of you know Cindy and Ikey spent a month at Marietta Memorial Hospital before he passed away.  The hospital DID NOT follow Ikey's wishes and he suffered a great deal while he was there.

Marietta Memorial Hospital would not release Isaac (Ikey) Martin to go to another location for help.  Cindy fought hard and even with lawyers and patient advocates the hospital would not allow Ikey to leave.  At one point Columbus had a bed for him but doctors would not let him go.

Ikey was quite literally starved for the last 8 days of his life.  The hospital took away his feeding tube even though Ikey told them (by writing on his white board) that he wanted to live.  

Cindy is currently seeking an autopsy and legal help to fight a wrongful death lawsuit.  Cindy has not really been able to work and Ikey's life insurance policy isn't going to cover his funeral.  Therefore, we continue to ask for help to pay for various bills including his funeral, autopsy, medical and prior living expense that Cindy is still responsible for.

Please pray for Cindy as she goes through the grieving process after loosing the love of her life.


UPDATE 11/15/2021 - 
Isaac (Ikey) Martin  passed away on Friday, November 12, 2021 at approximately 8:30pm.
Isaac's life insurance policy only has $450.00 on it so it won't cover the funeral expenses. There are still a lot of medical bills and other bills that piled up while he was in the hospital and Cindy could not work.

Please DO NOT send flowers. Cindy will need as much help as possible to cover all these costs. Please do what you can and share this with your family and friends.

To those of you that have already helped, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Most of the funds raised prior to today (11/15/2021) were used for the food that went into Ikey's feeding tube and we appreciate everyone that made it possible for us to buy this food for him.


UPDATES - 10/30/2021
- Cindy and Ikey have been trying to get doctors & nurses to listen to his wishes.  Cindy has done a lot of research and at one point the food she purchased for his feeding tubes (doctors will not help with this food) was helping him gain weight and have regular bowel movements. 

Doctors have misdiagnosed him, confused him with other patients, given him wrong medications  and outright lied to Cindy about changing Ikey's beddings and such.  PLEASE help! Cindy is trying to keep Ikey from starving to death while he battles this cancer!  Additional updates are in the  update section.

Isaac Martin has stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma (head and neck) cancer. He is currently at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown West Virginia for life saving treatments. We are praying for a miracle as he battles this illness.

His wife Cindy will be staying by his side which is about 2 hours from home leaving her unable to work at this time. A mountain of debt is quickly piling up in medical bills, rent, utilities, car insurance and hotel fees.

We would like to make this as easy on them as possible by raising funds to pay these bills.

No donation is too small; even $5, $10 or $15 could help raise a large amount of funds pretty quickly. If you find it in your heart to help out please donate and share this fundraiser with everyone you know.

Most importantly we ask for much needed prayers in hopes that it is God's plans to heal Isaac and bring him home healthy.
