Help bring Keir home

Donation protected
On August 26, 2013, Keir, 29,  was diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.  After induction therapy and three brutal rounds of consolidation chemo, Keir was ready for a bone marrow transplant.   On February 13, 2014, he received new bone marrow from an anonymous European donor.   During this time, Keir had to spend about four months total as an inpatient in the hospital, and much time in isolation.  Because our home was discovered to have black mold in the basement and kitchen, Keir had to move out and stay with his elderly grandparents in their home, along with his mom - me - his primary caregiver.  Both of us had to quit working, which has made getting the home repairs done extremely difficult.  Being separated from the rest of our family has also made this time exceptionally hard.  We are hoping to raise funds to purchase the materials needed to fix up our home - the drywall and flooring.  We have removed the old walls and floor ourself, with the help of some volunteers, and now need to take the next steps to finish the job.  Keir is doing well medically but still is not cleared to work, and and he wants to go home.  He has fought so hard and we want to get his home fixed up so that he can - finally - resume his life - but we need some help to purchase the needed replacement materials.  Keir's medical bills are approaching $2 million dollars, and though he has insurance, the bills are still daunting.    Keir has proven himself a formidable fighter and we are hoping the community will help him get back to his home and begin a new, healthy life.
