Kidney cancer assistance needed please

[Nia Washington]

Hi, I am trying to find assistance for a 52-year-old male (Brent) that has been diagnosed with not just one but two types of cancer including kidney. I have researched everything that I know to research, and I have reached out to our local agencies with no avail. Brent is 52, on disability of 51393 per month by the time he pays his expenses he struggles for food even with his SNAP benefits of $23 per month. He has been diagnosed in 08/2024 with a soft tissue sarcoma that has attached to the right pelvic bone and due to the size of the tumor he is unable to stand, walk or sit for very long periods of time. We just went back to his follow up and they told him that his renal cell carcinoma is back on his right kidney. He lost his left kidney to cancer is 2022. And now he has been referred to U of L Health Brown Cancer Center in Louisville KY to see an orthopedic surgeon to see if the tumor could/can be removed. He is in need of a gas card to get back and forth to his visit in June. Please can you help him?

I am seeking assistance from anywhere possible, and I haven't had much luck yet for my father who was just diagnosed on July 15th with massive kidney cancer. It is renal cell carcinoma with metastatic to lungs and lymph nodes and he has fluid in his left lung. I feel like it happened because when we worked at HSN in Greeneville TN warehouse they kept us working while they tore down and rebuilt a section of the building that was full of asbesto !!
It is a very dirty place, and the asbestos was where we had our break room! My father he looks like he has lost so much weight extremely fast too and he is so pale that I don't see how he's still with us like that...he has a hernia that's very painful and they can't do nothing about it because of his massive tumor and he is also forced to keep working to pay bills.
My mother is devastated and her nerves are shot and she's not in the best health either but they are both working at Walmart and my father stocks which is strenuous and they are struggling to even go to doctor appointments for the cancer treatment because there copay is so high...They said the doctor spoke about him starting chemo pills and immunotherapy but I could a sworn chemo does not respond well to kidney cancer so I'm not sure about this doctor being his best option but I don't really know how to help them or convince them to go get another doctor elsewhere...they just had to get a car off Carvana so they have a high car payment now along with their awful landlord bumping their rent up twice within a month for such a tiny apartment!!
Not to mention the cost of food nowadays, it's so sad! It's ridiculous and they were already struggling to pay bills and now all this...they have been wanting so badly to go on a small little getaway for so many years now and they are really good people and they deserve to get to go or do something and it really breaks my heart. I wish I could win the lottery to give it all to them so they can spend what little time they have left with each other because he was at first given an estimate of a year to live. Now it might be even less time.
They are amazing people and great parents, and I admire him still for working like this but it's not right at all and he is in so much pain and it is not at all fair for them to go on like this. If you can please assist me in anyway or point me in the right direction to whom may be able to help I would so appreciate it from the bottom of my heart and spend the rest of my life paying it back or doing whatever I needed to do to get them some help financially, medically, or just anything at all to lessen their stress and maybe hopefully fight this cancer somehow...please if you could help any, I haven’t found any yet and I desperately need it please, I can't sleep, I can't eat.
I 'm just so tired up and tomorrow's my birthday and I think it will be the saddest I've ever had...I appreciate you listening and if anything to help with kidney cancer please pray for him!! Thank you so much for your time!
