Help support Moe's Battle Against Terminal Stomach Cancer

Donation protected



Hi everyone, my name is Micaela.
I'm writing this on behalf of Monier / Moe, my partner for 13 years and the love of my life.

At the age of 29, Moe has been battling stage 4 stomach cancer for 10 long months. In those 10 months, he has had 1 surgery, 2 surgical procedures, 12 rounds of FOLFOX chemo, and as of 10/29, 5 rounds of a new chemo regimen which is palliative care only. He’s currently experiencing neuropathy of his hands and feet (completely numb) along with severe back and side pains. Eating is a daily struggle along with pain and discomfort in his stomach. To date, he has lost over 100 pounds.

He is considered terminal as of August 1, 2024, due to his cancer spreading to his abdominal wall. With lifelong chemo, at that time he was given approximately 1-2 years to live. As of 10/29 we have received devastating test results. The disease has spread tremendously... to bones lungs and other areas of his body. We’re now waiting on the next plan of action from his doctors. Now, if you know Moe, you know he's a beast . He's giving it his all and fighting the fight with everything he has in him for our family . We’re praying for a miracle and the most time together as possible.

Moe was the breadwinner and provider for our family, which includes our 9-year-old son and three-year-old daughter. With this diagnosis, he hasn't been able to work since 12/18/2023. I work full-time to support us while being a partner, mom, and caregiver.

As you can imagine, this has put a huge strain on us financially. Bills have been piling up due to high costs of medicines and just trying to make ends meet. We appreciate any and all support you may be able to give us. Nothing's too big or too small. If you're not able to donate, please say a prayer for my family. Keep us in your thoughts.

We thank you all in advance from the bottom of our hearts
