# Help Nathan Ciampa Fight Stage 2 Colon Cancer
**Fundraising Goal: $30,000**
My name is Nathan Ciampa. I'm 47 years old, and I'm from Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
I never imagined that at this point in my life I would be facing something as frightening as Stage 2 colon cancer. Receiving this diagnosis has changed my life, and I am now facing one of the biggest battles I've ever had to fight.
My biggest priority right now is getting the surgery I need to fight this cancer and give myself the best possible chance at a healthier future.
Unfortunately, the cost of surgery, medical bills, and treatment-related expenses has become a financial burden that I cannot manage alone. That's why I'm reaching out and asking for help.
My goal is to raise **$30,000** to help cover:
- Surgery and medical expenses
- Cancer treatment-related costs
- Medical bills
- Recovery and other necessary expenses
Asking for help is not easy. I've always hoped to handle life's challenges on my own, but right now I need the kindness and support of others.
Every donation, no matter how small, brings me closer to getting the medical care I need. If you cannot donate, sharing my fundraiser with others would mean just as much.
I'm not giving up. I'm determined to keep fighting, and I want the opportunity to move forward with my life.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read my story, donate, or share my fundraiser. Your generosity means more than words can express.
**Please help me reach my $30,000 goal so I can focus on fighting cancer and getting the surgery I need.**
With gratitude,
**Nathan Ciampa**
Sioux Falls, South Dakota
