Cancer Battle & Research Fund

Donation protected
My name is Tim Hensley.  I completed this request with humble heart.  It's very difficult for me to ask for funds to cover my struggles when we all are dealing with our own battles.  But at this point in my life the following circumstances has brought me to the conclusion that I need help. 
*Feb 2016 - Surgery for Fractured elbow and detached tricep (Dr believes the bone marrow cancer involvement may have contributed)
*Nov 2016 - Diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma with multiple nodes and bone marrow involvement
*Nov 2016 - Multiple surgeries to remove elarged lymph nodes
*Accumulated $164,000 in medical bills with deductible of $6,000 and additional out of network fees $2,000
*Lean error code on Truck which is only transportation - checked it out and low engine knock and cam phaser problem - result is an engine replacement is needed ~$5,000
*Dec 2016 - Chemo therapy began at $17,000 a treament with 12 scheduled treatments over 6 months amounting to $204,000.  Deductible will be higher in 2017 because of rate and insurance change
*Daughter in college and my oldest son will be beginning in the fall.
*Funds are needed to cover copays, deductibles, provisions for my children, and replacement of truck engine

     As you can see, the perfect storm has hit me.  I am a single father that has been providing all the needs for my 3 children under my roof for the last 9 years since my divorce.  It hurts me emotionally to be in the situation, but God has provided me strength and courage with a humble heart to reach out to those that love me.  I don't expect much and prayers are always wonderful.  In addition, I have included a link that 50% of this total amount raised will be used for Lymphoma research.  But please feel free to donate directly using the included link.  I have an incurable form of cancer that I will battle for the rest of my life.  I have prayed that a cure is found, but continued research is needed.  I hope and pray to live to see my children have children and God will be there for me either way.  I will pay it forward as I have been a volunteer for Danville sports and the last 5 years for Project Angel, Making Strides, and Relay for Life.  Making Strides and Relay for Life I was drawn to because of those friends and family that I have lost to this terrible disease.  It's very ironic now that I have been diagnosed with cancer, but I am going to utilize my story to empower those at the events that I have been a part of.  Thank you for prayers and anything that you can help with.  Here is the link for the Lymphoma Research:
