My good friend Julia needs your help. Her partner, Erro, is facing their 6th recurrence of cancer. Because it is a rare, they must travel to NYC from their home in Wyoming.

Both Erro and Julia are disabled and have income. They have many costs that are not covered (such as travel and housing).

Any help is great! https://gofund.me/83182ecc
