Save my Matthew

This is Matthew.

Matthew is 22 years old, teaches karate to little kids

puts ketchup on his eggs

and Matthew has stage II colon cancer. He’s currently on Chemotherapy and needs your help. Matthew just completed his first round of chemotherapy and the symptoms are starting to arise. loss of hair, weightloss and bruises on his skin. As a friend it’s very hard to watch someone who could kick literal butt go through this.

I can’t even imagine how hard it is on him. Matthew is struggling, he’s already $30,000 in debt and this is his first treatment with at least 5 more to go. To make things worse Matthew isn’t getting any support from his family.  Matthew recently came out to them and he’s been disowned by his family and church, just for being who he is. Kicked to the curb and relying on friends for a place to sleep, and now it could also kill him, without the financial support he needs he can’t afford the treatments necessary to save his life. Insurance only pays for so much and experimental treatments aren’t covered. My name is Adam, and I love Matthew.

He’s homeless and now not getting the treatment he needs because of me. Matt came out to his family and he did it for me and now he’s living from couch to couch while working three jobs all to pay for medical treatment he needs. His dad told him he has cancer because of his lifestyle and it’s God’s punishment. I think Matt believes him. Matt strips at night and makes good money doing this but It’s hard on his body and he gets weak easily now. He can’t teach Karate anymore as the chemo has made his cartilage weak, he has a dislocated rib now.

He needs your help, I need your help. I can’t live without him and he’s too good for all this bad to happen to him.

Please, please, share this, donate what you can, anything and every little thing you can do helps. Every penny will go to treatment and anything left over will go to cancer research if we reach our goal. Were expecting another $60-80,000  in medical treatment. Any left over proceeds will be donated to The Children’s Cancer Research Fund. http://www.childrenscancer.org/

Please, no amount is too small, a few cents can make a difference.

Thank you, Please like share and donate here.

Guys,  $136 in the first hour, you’re all amazing. I’m crying right now.

one word: Toxoplasmosis.  It’s a parasite that infects small animals, namely rodents and sometimes birds, and takes control of their brains. They lose fear of predators, in some cases becoming attracted to them. The hope for the parasite is that they’ll be eaten so they can carry on their life cycle through feces that’s eaten by another rodent.  Don’t feed wild animals. 

shut up and let me enjoy my squirrel

@nutcasso I’m so jealous of him

To the person who thought they would do some fact-dropping and throw out the ‘toxoplasmosis’ card without actually doing fact checking themselves.

Stop.

Toxoplasmosis (T.gondii) is a feline-related affliction. It can only procreate inside a cat, or other members of the feline family. However, it can be transferred to other species, and often does so without those species ever being aware of it.

Something like 70% of domestic cats in America have T.gondii. Cows, pigs, horses, domesticated and wild animals can have t. gondii.

It manifests in symptoms of cysts and rashes (internal and external) including your lungs and brains, but only if your immune system is unable to keep it in check.

Feeding wild animals doesn’t increase your chances of getting T.gondii any more than drinking unpasteurized milk, or eating eggs, or owning a cat.

There is no known correlation between toxoplasmosis and animals ‘losing fear of predators’. Most people can have it and not know, unless you have a weakened immune system to the degree of HIV/AIDS in which case it can manifest itself as flu-like symptoms and even seizures.

This shit is literally fucking everywhere.

Please stop throwing out your wholly incorrect fear-mongering.
