Hello,  I have created this spot fund for our family.  We are a family of three in need of some help with bills and rent.   In Sept of 2021 my husband, Mark was diagnosed with Plasma Cell Leukemia. He was originally given 6 months to live.  In Dec of 2021, the drs decided to do a bone marrow transplant.  My husband’s bone marrow was wiped  completely clean. He had no immune system after this was done. His immune system is still pretty low.    He’s had several set backs. Each time we think he is getting better, something winds up happening with him.   He has been in and out of the hospital a lot since all of this .  He is still recovering to this day from the transplant.   He will never be able to work again, he struggles to walk. He recently found out he somehow broke  his hip.., so now he’s recovering from that and having three kidney stones removed ..I left my job to make sure things were being taken care of at home. We have 18 yr old daughter.  She was 14 when we found out about her dad being sick.  It’s been rough for all of us.  We would really appreciate any help.  We have emptied our bank acct.  We are battling lawyers in hopes he can get approved for ssd/ssi.      This is the first time in three yrs I haven’t been able to pay bills.  Rent being the biggest of them all.   $700 a month and late fees, it adds up fast when you can’t pay.  We are also running out of household supplies (the necessities like toilet paper , shampoos/conditioner, deodorants, dish soap , trash bags both kitchen and outdoor )   No matter  the amount, it’s a help to us,  so please considering donating.   Thank you for reading our story.

Facing eviction soon, I am four months behind on rent.   I have appealed my disability case, but it could be 6 months before I hear anything…We had my husband’s social security payments that we used to pay bills and rent, but I no longer receive those payments..   As he passed away on 08/27/25 so the payments were stopped… 

I could really use a lot of help right now until I can get back on my feet,   Any little donation helps please. I have a dog, and I have no where to go if evicted.   This is the first time in the four yrs I haven’t been able to pay rent.

unfortunately things aren’t looking to good….. there isn’t much more that can be done. Sounds like the cancer has spread through the entire body…. There are complications going on also…. A discussion was held last week, about possibly doing a feeding tube, but I don’t think that’s happening now.  There’s to much at risk, and unfortunately having a feeding a tube put in. There’s, a risk he won’t come out of the anesthesia, and then there’s many other risks if he does come out of the anesthesia….on 8/24, I was told that he maybe going to a nursing hospital home/ rehab center….. please if u can help, we would truly appreciate it.  My daughter and I are really having a hard time with this right now.  He’s been my everything for 33yrs, (been together for that long). And we have been married for 22 yrs.  Our world is collapsing around us…
