MY FIGHT IS NOT OVER

About Me

Let me share a bit about my journey. I am 38 years old and have experienced many ups and downs throughout my life. Through it all, I can honestly say that God has always been by my side.

My challenges began when I was helping a friend and crashed my brand-new car. This incident set off a chain reaction of difficulties. My friend was unwilling to cover the damages, which led to financial strain and ultimately resulted in my eviction. I found myself sleeping in a rental car until I was involved in another accident.

Afterward, I was forced to sleep on the streets, including at the airport and Walmart, living in survival mode until I reached a shelter. Once there, I began searching for a job to save up for a new car. I eventually secured a position and managed to buy another car. Unfortunately, just 28 days after getting it, someone ran into the back of my car while I was working for Uber, placing me back in a tough situation.

I didn't receive the settlement for that accident until February. I got another car and resumed driving for Uber in an effort to get off the streets. However, two months later, I started feeling unwell. I pushed through for a while, but after three visits to the hospital, I finally got insurance through Obamacare. Tests revealed that I had cancer.

When the doctor delivered the news, I responded with, "Fuck cancer." The doctor later told me she had never seen anyone react so calmly upon receiving such a diagnosis. I explained to her, with all due respect, that I was homeless and just wanted to know what I needed to do. I was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 33, and I was going through all of this during the pandemic with COVID-19, which added another layer of difficulty to an already challenging situation.

I went through treatments and, by God's grace, received a $2,000 blessing, which allowed me to purchase a new car—my previous one had to be returned when I fell ill. I worked hard and planned to get off the streets by January 2021, but God had a different plan for me. He guided me off the streets just six days after my birthday.

A few months later, I sought further direction and felt inspired to start drawing, which ultimately led me to launch a clothing line. Stay tuned—I will also be coming out with a book!

Transforming Anger into Action

I use strong language intentionally. The phrase "FUCK CANCER" encapsulates the frustration, pain, and loss that come with this disease. It serves as a rallying cry for those who have lost loved ones, faced medical challenges, or endured the harsh realities of cancer treatment. 

This expression is not just about anger; it’s about empowerment. It’s a call to action for everyone—especially our youth—to understand the gravity of cancer while also feeling free to express their emotions authentically.

 Faith and Hope

Throughout this journey, we've learned that faith, spirituality, and maintaining hope are essential in overcoming life's challenges. We encourage everyone to lean on their beliefs and find strength in community support.
