Support Moe's Battle Against Folicular T Celll Lymphoma
Donation protected
Our beloved brother and friend Moe has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (T-cell Follicular Lymphoma) that has metastasized to his bones. He started Chemotherapy and has a journey of recovery ahead of him, including a bone marrow transplant once done with chemo *God’s willing*
This tragic news has taken all of us by surprise!
Moe is a 31 year old young man who is well known for his strong personality. He is brave, courageous, confident, and resilient. Moe has always been full of life and energy, with an enormous heart. Moe is the type of guy that always lights up the room when he enters, one of those people who will turn your bad day into a better one by putting a smile on your face with one of his funny jokes. Quite the comedian, always making the people around him laugh and smile. Even with his cancer diagnosis, he still finds a way to bring others joy.
Moe is married to his sweetheart Lusanda Joji Hostetler. Together they have three wonderful energetic little boys, Beckham 5, Brenson 3, and Braxton 1.5yr old. Moe, his wife and their 3 sons recently relocated back to Dalton Kidron, Ohio.
December of 2023, Moe started feeling generalized pain and aches, especially in his joints. At first, he thought it was just typical pains and aches due to the physicality of being a mover. However, the pain continues, and he starts noticing some weight loss as well. In February, he went to the ER for severe generalized pain. There, he was thought to have Mono, so he was sent home. A week or so later, he went back to the ER again for weight loss and severe pain. Again, he was sent home, except this time, the ER doctors told him, "You might have cancer." That same week, Moe had a visit with his primary care physician (PCP). A CT scan then showed that Moe has lymphoma.
Moe had a lymph node removed from his groin for tissue biopsy. In most cases, lymphomas are relatively treatable at a 90% survival rate. However, the biosy showed that Moe has a rare form of lymphoma called "Follicular T cell lymphoma," which is especialy aggressive and dangerous. The treatment course is just as aggressive as it includes chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, steroids, and high potency pain and nausea medications. Moe started chemotherapy on Monday, April 29th, 2024, and an implanted chest port was placed on May 1, 2024, for infusion therapy.
Moe is currently on his 3rd chemo treatments. He is battling this horrible disease & has fought so hard with many ups and downs & in between. Through all of this Moe is staying positive, believing God will come through for him through this darkness time.
The foundation and ground work for treatment are now underway. We can only keep Moe in our prayers and support him as best we can.
Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.
— Hellen Keller.
It's no secret how fast medical costs for cancer treatment can pile up. Not to mention providing for a family and keeping up with bills.
We are seeking community support while Moe goes through the difficult treatments for this hideous disease.
We want to surround Moe with love, comfort, and financial assistance as he copes with the emotional and financial burdens that come with being helpless.
You have the power to make a difference in a cancer patient's life. These simple suggestions will allow you to help relieve the patient's worry and frustration, freeing him to focus on rest, gaining strength, and healing during this difficult time.
It's now our turn as Moe's families, friends, and community to step in and help make this painful and exhausting journey a little bit better financially for him and his family.
With your help, our Brother and Friend doesn't have to go through this journey alone.
Every donation or contribution no matter how small, is a step towards rebuilding Moe's Journey
Whether it's contributing or simply offering words of encouragement, your support will make a tangible difference in Moe's life.
Please continue to keep Moe in your prayers as this is not an easy journey for everyone who loves and cares about him.
Any and All Donations will be Greatly Appreciated in this dire time of Need.
We kindly asked you share Moe's journey to the public on all social media platforms.
