My name is Don Valentine, and I’m reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support during the most difficult time of my life.
I am currently battling Stage IV throat cancer and Stage IV liver disease—a diagnosis that has turned my world upside down. Just a week ago, I was rushed to the hospital with sepsis, a serious and life-threatening infection that has added to the complications of my already critical condition. I remain hospitalized as doctors work to stabilize me.
While my strength and spirit remain unshaken, the financial burden of this medical crisis is overwhelming. Chemo and radiation treatments are expected to begin soon, but the process of getting approved for Medicare and Medicaid is long and arduous, and the paperwork is still being processed.
In the meantime, medical bills are mounting rapidly—from hospital stays, labs, and medications, to the cost of upcoming treatments and basic living expenses. I simply cannot keep up without help.
I humbly ask for any support you can give—no donation is too small. Every dollar helps ease this burden and allows me to focus on the most important fight of my life: staying alive and getting well.
If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing this page with your friends, family, or community. Your prayers, your love, and your support mean more to me than words can express.
With gratitude,
Don Valentine
