Fighting For His Life

A friend with gastrointestinal cancer needs the community's help.

Meet Lucky Robinson. Age 34, a family man, a fighter, and a gentleman through and through. Lucky is the strongest man at his weakest moment in life. Lucky has just been diagnosed with gastrointestinal cancer. While it might be one's first impulse to ignore such a thing, rationalizing that all will be well somehow or another, not all will be well with Lucky if he doesn't have the community backing him.

My dear friend just cannot afford treatment for this cancer. And his life is really in danger, although the cancer is in the early stages. His white blood cell count is just too low. Lucky is doing everything he can just to remain conscious during the day. The pain is tremendous, and for his family and friends, it has been heartbreaking to watch a strong, healthy man deteriorate in such a manner because he can't eat or drink.

Lucky needs more than his friends and family now. Lucky needs the Las Vegas community. This community can do many wonderful things. There are so many wonderful people in this town, that if only his cause reaches the vast population, he'll gain a fighting chance.

34 is too young to depart from this world. Help me. Help Lucky. Every little dollar counts. Just $1 is all it takes to save a life. And if more can be given, you'll have contributed to actually saving someone. Please, help Lucky fight this awful awful disease. He has the strength and the willpower to get through this as long as he has the help and the means to do so.
