Help me take a stand against blood cancer
Cancer is a thief. It steals time, love, and memories without mercy. I never thought I'd be the one to watch the people I love the most suffer from it, but that's exactly what happened. It started with my grandmother. A warm, loving woman whose stories filled our home was reduced to a shadow of herself, too weak to even smile in the end. I thought it was unfair—how could cancer take away someone so full of life?
____________________
Then it was my great uncle. The man who taught me everything I know, who always had a plan, who loved us so fiercely that I could feel it in every hug—gone, in a matter of months. His fight was swift and cruel, and I could do nothing but watch helplessly as the disease stripped away his strength, his voice, and eventually, his presence.
____________________
Cancer doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care how many birthdays you’ve celebrated, how many dreams you’ve yet to chase, or how many people love you. It takes and takes and leaves nothing but emptiness behind.
____________________
Now, I carry their memory with me every day. But I won’t just mourn. I’m using their story to fuel my fight for others. Because no one should go through what we did. Please, consider donating. Your generosity might be the difference between life and death for someone else. You have the power to help end the suffering, to give someone else the chance at a future that cancer tried to steal from them.
____________________
Together, we can take away the power that cancer holds over us.
Also, I have great hair, make me shave it. I'll get a buzz cut and then dye it orange if I get to $1000
Thanks for having your say
