Jessica Million Cancer Fund

Update from Tom Million, Jessica’s husband:

“Hello all,

I've been putting this off, but thought I had better get something out there. Jess has gotten much worse in the last few weeks. She is incredibly weak, and has terrible double vision, vertigo, and dizziness. She has fallen a lot recently, and when she does, it is nearly impossible to get her back up. It has come to the point when I can no longer care for her at home. She is currently in the hospital and the plan is to move her to a hospice house where she can get 24 hour care. It kills me to do this since she hates hospitals, and Genevieve and I miss her terribly, but she is not safe at home anymore. I am in a no-win situation, but have to choose the lesser of two evils. I wish I had better news.”

I’m posting this update on behalf of Tom & Jessica. I created this campaign last year for them, which has been incredibly helpful. As you may recall, with Jessica unable to work due to her cancer, they had to move to a smaller house. Last year’s donations were instrumental in letting them fix up their house to get ready to sell and to deal with all of the moving expenses.

Unfortunately, as Tom has reported above, things have taken a turn for the worse for Jessica. She is now so weak, with vertigo, double-vision, and a host of other problems, that she can no longer live at home. As of this writing, she has been moved to hospice care.

As you might imagine, Tom has had to take a lot of unpaid time off from work, and even with insurance, they are amassing a mountain of ridiculous medical bills.

Like last time, they expect nothing, but are grateful for anything. Please share this link wherever you can so as many people see it as possible. You can donate anonymously if you so choose.

Thanks again,
Brett Lord

*ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN STORY:

Dear friends and family,

This GoFundMe campaign is for Jessica Million, the wife of my old friend Tom Million, and mother of their young daughter, Genevieve.

As you may or may not know, Jessica began a battle with breast cancer several months ago. She had surgery, and it was thought that the surgeons got everything.  Unfortunately, they recently learned that the cancer had metastasized into her spine, hips, lymph nodes and brain.  Although they are doing all they can, her prognosis is not favorable.

Jessica currently has a lot of mobility issues, as well as nausea, dizziness and vertigo, so she can no longer drive. As a result, she has had to put aside her beloved landscaping career, so she and Tom are having much trouble making ends meet. They are definitely going to have to move to a smaller home, since they cannot afford their current one on Tom's income alone.  

Of course, moving is not cheap. There are repairs that must be made before they put their home on the market and, despite insurance, the medical bills are piling up.

They would rather not ask anyone for money, but they certainly need it.  Any amount is welcome, and they will certainly not think less of anyone who can't give at this time. They know they have the best friends in the world, and help doesn't always come in the form of money.

You may give anonymously if you so choose.

Please share this as much as you can. The more this goes viral, the more help they can get.

Thank you so much.
