Former Eagles defensive end Bryan Braman has been combating a rare and life-threatening form of cancer since February.
The 38-year-old Washington native has had to undergo a 12-week treatment program that has hurt his finances and left him without a home.
A GoFundMe post has been made by William Jones for Braman, who is battling a “very rare form” of cancer” and has caused him to sell off his assets, which include his car, to help cover the cost of his treatments.
“Bryan is home with his family after undergoing a CAR-T cell programming treatment program in Seattle,” an update on Braman’s situation read on June 20.
“With the cancer that Bryan has, which is a very rare form of cancer, the CAR-T treatment had the highest chance of success as the cells are reprogrammed to fight this cancer that is within Bryan.
“His cells did re-infuse themselves and did in fact start reproducing within his bone marrow.
“At first the mass did start to shrink, but then the cancer started fighting back.
“At this point Bryan has had to start having chemo treatments that are designed for the treatment program Bryan is in.”
The GoFundMe has a target of $15,000 in order “to pay for housing for him, his caregiver, and his uncle as they all live together.”
It added that Braman and his close ones “are currently paying over $100/day for their motels” and the funds will help the retired seven-year NFL vet “to rent an Airbnb to be able to rest.”
