Hello everyone, first off I would like to share my story. 
 

I am 41 yes old, have a wife and two beautiful children. For the last 21 years I have been a retail store manager and have for the most part enjoyed it. It provided myself and my family with a house, vehicles, and the ability to enjoy life. Not living extravagantly but being able to provide everything they needed.  
As of October 2022, I have been diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer (esophagus and liver).  It came at a great surprise. I was in fact training for the annual thanksgiving 5k when I took myself to the hospital with stomach pain.  Little did I know then what was going on in my body.  I spent the next 2 months is UTSW in Dallas Getting care  2 rounds of chemo, and infected port location in my chest, and countless infections in my body while there.  They had given me 4-6 weeks to live.  My wife and I made the decision to stop chemo and take a different approach.  Between prayers (lots and lots of prayers) and a complete lifestyle change, we have been able to beat all the initial odds given to us . It is now April and I’m still here.  A complete organic diet, hollistic medicine, and a strong belief in the lord and I  am still here.  
 
I was However put on long term disability with work. A new job I had only had for 6 months at the time. So other than paying for insurance out of pocket, I have no other income coming in.  Which is why I’m here. To try and help my family out financially with any and all means available .  I want to continue providing for my 2 year old, 8 year old, and wife as best as I can.

thank you all for taking the time to read my story and god bless you and yours.
