Original story from Anthony's mother, Sylvia: "Two weeks ago, our world was turned upside down. Anthony was experiencing severe pain, and that same day we received the difficult news that something serious was happening. After several tests and procedures, it has been confirmed that Anthony has cancer. We know that many families are facing difficult battles, and our hearts go out to everyone going through their own hardships. We continue to keep those families in our prayers. Throughout this journey, Anthony’s strong faith in Jehovah has been helping him stay strong and continue moving forward. His faith, strength, and determination have been a source of encouragement during one of the hardest times our family has ever faced. Anthony and I both work for PAVE, a nonprofit organization that specializes in helping victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. Like many nonprofits, PAVE does not provide employer sponsored health insurance, which has added another challenge as we navigate medical appointments, treatments, and the unexpected expenses that come with this diagnosis. No one ever expects to find themselves in this position! We are grateful for the love, prayers, encouragement, and support we have already received from so many people. If you are able to donate, any amount would mean so much to our family and help us during this difficult time. Your support will help ease some of the financial burden while Anthony focuses on his health and recovery. Thank you for your prayers, kindness, and support. We truly appreciate every thought, message, and act of kindness shown to our family. With Jehovah’s help, we will continue facing each day with faith, hope, and strength. From a loving mother."
