Help for my loving brother

Help Rodney Fight Advanced Cancer — He Can No Longer Work. Rodney is battling late-stage metastatic prostate cancer that has spread to his bones and bone marrow. Treatments and hospitalizations have left him unable to work. We’re raising funds to help him cover basic living and medical expenses while he continues fighting for time and quality of life: 

Rodney’s Story

Our bother Rodney Elliott, is fighting a very serious and aggressive cancer.

Rodney has metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer — meaning the cancer has spread throughout his body and no longer responds to standard treatments. It has invaded his lymph nodes, skeleton, and bone marrow. Despite surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, and advanced nuclear medicine treatments, the disease continues to progress. Recently, his bone marrow began failing due to the cancer and the intensity of treatment. This has caused:

• Severe anemia requiring repeated blood transfusions

• Dangerous infection risk from immune suppression

• Extreme fatigue and weakness

• Cognitive slowing and reduced stamina

• Frequent hospitalizations, Because of this, Rodney is medically unable to work — permanently. Even routine daily activities are difficult, and he must avoid public exposure due to infection risk. He is currently in a clinical trial trying to control the disease, but it is not a cure. The goal is simply to give him more time and maintain quality of life.

Why We Need Help

Rodney now has no income while waiting on disability processing, yet his expenses continue:


• Rent / housing

• Utilities

• Food and basic living needs

• Transportation to cancer treatments

• Medications and medical costs not covered by insurance

• Recovery care after hospital staysCancer doesn’t just attack the body — it attacks stability, independence, and dignity. Right now, Rodney needs relief from financial stress so he can focus on treatment and rest instead of survival. If you’re able to donate, every amount truly helps. If you can’t donate, sharing this page makes a real difference.Your support gives Rodney something medicine can’t — peace of mind and the ability to spend his energy on fighting the disease, not worrying about losing everything.Thank you for reading, caring, and helping him through the hardest fight of his life.
