Name
Eric Wiltfong
Injury/Illness
Colon Cancer
I am a hardworking person and alongside my wife of 25 years, we have raised 5 boys and we have 2 young grandsons. I’ve always been a healthy person, but on April 12th, I went in for my 1st colonoscopy and learned shortly after that I have advanced Stage 3 Colorectal cancer. I’m grateful for my health insurance, however, with my loss of income, as the primary wage earner, I am facing a strong degree of financial toxicity. I fear not only losing my home but I’m also worried about meeting my co-pays for treatment and medication costs. Any degree of help would help bring stability and ease some stress during this difficult time in my life. I look forward to days ahead of good health and happiness and the joy I get to be with my grandchildren.
