Hi, my name is Eddie. I have had an ankle, hip and back surgery over the past 4 years. Now I’ve been diagnosed with Metastatic Bladder cancer, which has spread to my kidneys, prostate, and a lymph node in my chest area. I’m being treated at Winship Emory Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia which is 76.44 miles from where I live. They are still researching how vast my Cancer is. My car is in need of repair, the parking alone is $10.00 per visit which has not been validated yet. Gas is HIGH. Currently I am depending on help from a friend who lives closer to Atlanta and drives me in their vehicle. I am on a fixed income, social security, and I can not even afford to offer this person help. If I can get some help to get my car working and have something on gas it would be a tremendous help and I could reimburse the person who is helping me now with a few dollars. This is important to me because as treatment goes on I know I will be in need of their assistance again and I do not want them to be overwhelmed and not be able to help me. I want to take myself to appointments for as long as I can, for now it helps me handle this emotionally. My prayers are that I be able to do this alone for as long as I can, but now I’m depending on my friend who is retired on a fixed income as well. If anyone decides to help me I would be extremely appreciative and thankful. There is much going on with me and I am told my situation is almost rare. I also ask for your prayers!
