My boyfriend has been diagnosed with severe throat and lung cancer, stage 3.
His condition has reached a point where he can no longer work to support me. While his family is willing to take him in, unfortunately, due to financial constraints, they cannot accommodate both of us. This reality is heartbreaking for us because we believe it's crucial to spend as much time together as possible before his time inevitably comes.
Currently, he is in Warmbad, while I am staying with my parents in Namibia. I am determined to be the one caring for him, with their support being more than welcome. However, they've decided they can no longer provide the assistance we desperately need. It feels as though they have taken control of all decisions, leaving us in a situation where I cannot be with the love of my life due to financial constraints.
A dear friend suggested reaching out to you, as you may be able to provide support to Lorraine & Wynand, enabling us to be together during these heartbreaking times.
We are seeking assistance in securing a small place to rent, covering basic living expenses, and facilitating travel arrangements, all to ensure I can be by his side and care for him until the very end.
I firmly believe that being together is our decision, and it breaks my heart that financial barriers are preventing us from doing so. I have all the necessary documents regarding his cancer diagnosis and condition.
Your help would mean the world to us during this challenging period.
We are eternally grateful for any support you can offer.
Thank you, and God bless you all.
