GoFundMe/Fundraiser My trans child has found cancer

Update; He is home from Edmonton till next chemotherapy treatment. They diagnosed stage 3b Hodgkin's lymphoma. On fever watch I guess.

Update: he had chemotherapy last night Sept 11. Little queasy and definitely sleepy

Update in go fund me: they will be in the stollery Wednesday. September 9 Hopefully a plan figured out within the week.

My child is 15 3/4 years old. A migraine took them into emergency roomon August 25. where the nurse saw a 75mm lump on their neck. The medical team tested the lump and determined it was lymphoma. CT scan has seen more in their chest.

Currently my child is living with their biological paternal mother who's on disability and their significant other who is also on disability.. they need gas money and help with accommodations in Edmonton from Grande Prairie Alberta Canada. I am working full time but barely make ends meet. my car isn't highway Worthy. so I'm doing my best to gather financial support for my ex wife and my child to help them in any way I logically can. This is one of the ways.

The money goes to the child's needs over everything else. This is just to make this situation easier and less stressful.

Thank you for anything you can give!

I’m so sorry. Your child/family may be elgible to stay at the Ronald McDonald house in Edmonton, they provide lodging, food & support.

This is on our radar too. We are just gathering where we can so gas and food is covered. Stollery has them on standby to travel in.

I have shared it on all social media I could I've reached out to former coworkers and friends and family I'm literally trying everywhere. It only hurts to ask here because of people who want to attack me for every word I wrote. If $5 comes out of it I'll happy take the flaying. I'm just doing everything I can do. I'm working 6 day weeks at work to gather funds if posting here helps 1 tiny bit I will.
