Hi, I'm Thomas Prince, and I've been fighting cancer(Ewing sarcoma) since I was 16. For the last five years, it's been endless rounds of chemotherapy, radiation and hospital visits. Last year, I went through a major surgery, hoping it would end, but the cancer did come back. It was primarily located in my arms, but now it has spread to my lungs as well. 

Last month, I had to make the hardest decision of my life, to amputate my left arm above the elbow. It is something I had never imagined I'd go through at 21. It hasn't been an easy road, but I refused to back down.
Despite everything, I completed my B.E in Computer Science, and I'm proud of that. And now I wish to build my future and live independently, just like anyone else my age. I want to work and live a life beyond hospitals and treatment. 

A prosthetic arm would help me regain my independence to work and live fully. But after years of continuous treatment, the financial strain has been enormous. That's why I'm reaching out for help, to help raise funds for a prosthetic arm that can help me start again. 

- Your support means more than words. Every bit helps me move forward, one step closer to the future I've been fighting for. 

- Every bit of support, every share, every kind word brings me closer to regaining a part of myself that cancer took away. Thank you for helping me take this next step forward towards healing and hope. 


Here's to new beginnings and brighter days ahead.
