A Soldier and Pastor’s Toughest Fight: Help Me Return to My Mission

To my friends, family, and the community I serve,

For over 30 years, my life has been defined by a single vow: to be the best person I can be and to help whenever and wherever I am needed. From my time as a Soldier to my years as a Pastor, I have stood on the front lines for others. My heart belongs to the children and impoverished families I serve, and my greatest joy is seeing them smile.

Today, for the first time in my life, I am the one who needs a helping hand.

I am currently facing a complex medical battle that requires immediate and intensive intervention. My "mission" has temporarily shifted to a hospital setting as I undergo:

• Comprehensive Diagnostics: Full body scans for my heart (EKG, Stress tests) and imaging for my shoulders and hips.

• Cancer Treatment: Further surgeries for basal cell cancer removal and multiple biopsies.

• Autoimmune Support: Managing early-stage Lymphadenopathy that is impacting my immune system.

• Extensive Imaging: MRI scans, X-rays, and bladder procedures.

The road is long, and the physical toll is visible, but my spirit remains unbroken. As I have told the families I help: Do not be sad. I will get better. I will be back.

How You Can Help To return to my passion of helping others, I must first win this fight for my health. I am seeking support to cover the mounting costs of these life-saving procedures, specialized treatments, and the recovery period that will follow.

Your contributions allow me to focus entirely on healing so that I can return to the work God has called me to do. Whether through this platform, Zelle, or CashApp, every gift is a "positive" that helps cancel out the "negative" of this illness.

I have shared some of the beautiful drawings and thank-you notes from the children I’ve helped over the years. They are my "Why." They are the reason I refuse to give up.

I am not done yet. Thank you for standing with me in this fight.

Blessings to you all.
