Gary Nelson Desperate Needs Our Help
Donation protected
My good friend Gary Nelson has gone to hell and back and back again, but he is still fighting!
Gary was diagnosed with Colon Rectal Cancer in 2018 and had major surgery during which they removed his lower intestines and most of his lymphatic nodes. After the surgery, he had a burst appendix and significant issues with blood clots, barely surviving.
After 9 months of chemotherapy and many hospital stays, Gary fought his way thru to remission in Jan. 2019.
A couple of months ago, Gary started experiencing severe pain. After another hospital stay, he was told that cancer had not only returned but was aggressively spreading. Multiple procedures and more hospital stays later, the doctors determined that the best-case scenario was to try to slow it down with non-stop chemo, but a recovery was not possible.
He remains hopeful and fighting, but his finances and savings have been completely depleted, and he is struggling even to get regular food.
A giving, generous, kind, loyal, and loving person. Gary has been a friend like no other, not just to me but to many. Please help me raise funds to help him manage his accumulating bills and to ease his financial burden.
About Gary:
I met Gary during the time we worked with Miguel Adrover. Having worked in Fashion for most of his life with designers such as Donna Karan, Prada, Miguel Adrover, etc. He has a great love for creative talent but always needed to balance that world with helping people.
During his life, Gary volunteered taking care of children with cancer at Ronald MacDonald House, taking care of babies with AIDS at Hale House. Later in his life, he fed the hungry at Jacksonville's Soup Kitchen, sponsored Living with Aids Weekend Conference in LA, supported artists, designers, and creative ventures throughout his life.
It is our turn to show him that we care!
