Hi, my name is Michelle, and I am here on behalf of my dear friend Dave Shelton. I've known Dave almost 20 years. He is one of the kindest and most loving people you would ever meet. He makes friends everywhere he goes and brightens every room he enters. but the last 2 years has really been difficult for him in 2022 he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. which now is terminal. he was on state disability for all of 2023 but was denied in 2024 so he applied for ssdi but it will take up to 6 months to see any benefits. he is asking for any help he can get I know he wouldn't do so unless he truly needed it. this is a letter from Dave... hello, my name is Dave Shelton, a terminal esophageal cancer patient. diagnosed late in 2022 after thanksgiving, one hell of a Christmas present, I stand before you today with 4 dollars in my pocket I have some serious medical bills mounting and my only vehicle to get me back and forth to appointments needs insurance. I need my cell phone to stay in touch with doctors. I have zero retirement to fall back on, just lost almost everything I own in a messy divorce. I have these plus other past due bills that need to be addressed so I can continue my fight with this awful disease. I have never been the guy to ask for help its usually the other way around. I'm asking anyone this reaches to please make an attempt at helping me out. the cancer I have fought with everything I have. I'm basically going through all this alone and I have nowhere else to turn. thank you. so, any help is appreciated greatly.
