Additionally, a GoFundMe was created in March to help the musician combat “the financial strain from medical expenses and daily living costs.”
Hi Everyone,
I want to take a moment to talk about our amazing friend, David Roach.
As many of you know, David who is a friend to all is in the fight of his life battling aggressive squamous cell carcinoma affecting his head, neck, and throat. Currently David requires around the clock care and supervision. David’s fiancé Jennifer has had to step away from traditional employment to become his full time care giver. While they have applied for disability and full time caregivers assistance it is an extremely long waiting period to go through the processing and receive approval. This has put them in a dire situation.
This has been a devastating blow for David especially after he finally found happiness, stability, and things were going well for him.
David is a true friend to everyone he meets. He has a knack for making people feel special and appreciated, and his incredible sense of humor always brings laughter and happiness to those around him.
His generous spirit really shines through in everything he does, including donating his amazing artwork to support others.
Right now, though, David is in a serious situation. The financial strain from medical expenses and daily living costs is piling up, and he’s struggling to keep a roof over his head without any income while fighting this cancer.
Let’s come together to support David during this critical time. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference and help him focus on what matters most—his health and recovery. Your support means the world to David, and it will truly help him through this difficult period. Thank you so much for showing him the love and kindness he deserves!
