Help Kevin Kick Cancer
Donation protected
Please help Kevin Kick cancer and the bills that come along with it . Kevin Sitterly, a modern day Brady bunch dad of six, is set to send the youngest of the kids , Nicholas Pickering to college next week, bringing the family total to three kids in college (George and Hannah as well) this year and he was looking forward to enjoying time in the single bathroom in the house and the empty nest .
But you know the saying, make plans and make your dog laughs...- now Kevin needs your help to Kick Cancer ! Kevin asked his former GP for a colonoscopy for three years before he switched doctors to get the scan and during his first ever colonoscopy in May, Kevin was diagnosed with Stage 3A Rectal Cancer . Kevin spent nine days in the hosptial after his tumor removal surery in June. He is facing six months of chemo and radiation ahead now.
Because you know how paperwork at begininng of the year with renewal and sign ups at work goes, Kevin opted out of short term inusrance at the time, never expecting this diagnosis. He knew he needed shoulder surgery, (and still does, but cancer has once again derailed plans so he just has to deal with that pain while he fights) but he figured you can survive out of work expenses if its only 6 weeks out. Looking at the time out of work for this battle, so far and ahead, has Kevin a bit down on himself for a judgement call that many of us would have made the same way. Add in the glory of High Deductible Insurance plans these days, you all can feel his financial pains and worries. He wants to save you from feeling the physical pain of 7 inch incision from a low anterior resection and 4 laproscopic incision sites as well.
He wants you all to go get scanned,if you are 50 years or older. If you have symptoms or family history go sooner- don't wait, and don't stay with your doctor if you think they are making the wrong call. If you can share any financial blessings, we will pay it forward as soon as we are able. Kevin has spent several years helping raise money in local events for Breast Cancer awareness, including the Pink MY RIde campaign, and leads a Charity family "adoption" through gifts and money at the holidays at his work place. Please help him feel the love and support that he readily gives away. Thanks and blessings to you in advance.
