BARRY BRANDY of ANGEL is battling cancer and homelessness in his senior years and facing an unimaginable challenge. After being diagnosed with Stage 3B leukemia, the fight against cancer has become even more difficult, as Barry has recently become homeless. A GoFundMe campaign at tinyurl.com/y46bnmut has been launched to raise funds that will go directly toward helping Barry pay for essential medical treatments and medications, as well as providing the means to buy a trailer, and find a stable place to park and live. Having a safe home and access to proper care will allow Barry to focus on recovery and regain some stability during this overwhelming time.
