Max Russell
Donation protected
Hi! My name is Shana Russell, Max, my father was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer March of 2023. At the time of his diagnosis, the cancer was in its advanced stages, so no treatment would have been possible. Instead Max has decided to live the rest of his days to the fullest he can. Despite the near crippling symptoms of this terrible disease, Max is dedicated to creating lasting memories for his family and crossing experiences off his bucket list. Due to being unable to work because of this fatal disease, a loss of his health insurance, and dropping what finances he has left into taking care of his elderly mother he has been left with few options financially. What we’re asking for is any help you could provide for future funeral expenditures and his cost of living expenses. This help would take a huge burden off of his final days.
Max is a life long motorcycle rider and his dream is to see New Orleans before he can no longer ride.
Max is being faced with having to sell his truck and bike to make ends meet and pay for medical expenditures for both he and his mother. This is the last sacrifice his loved ones want to see him have to make.
For my entire life my Dad has done everything he can for his kids and in his last days we want to do the same for him. I don’t want him to wonder how he’s going to get his medication or what small jobs he can physically do for some cash to survive. My wish is to see him comfortable and happy not praying he finds the money for his own cremation.
If you know Max you know he would give you the shirt off of his own back, anything you can do for him would be deeply appreciated.
