On 3/3/2013, Jeffrey completed his first maintenance chemotherapy session involving the drug Irenotecan, which will be given to him monthly, along with other drugs such as Avastin, for the rest of his life, or until a better therapy is discovered. We are prepared to fly Jeffrey to anywhere in the world on a moment's notice, and for this type of battle plan, we need to have cash reserves in order to meet all of our financial obligations while traveling, and participating in clinical trials.
We have been in the hospital more days than not during the past year, and we spent half of last year at the Ronald McDonald House in New York City. Three of those months were spent away from our youngest children, Lincoln and Amelie. When Jeffrey was diagnosed I quit my job. Since that day, Jeff and I have devoted most of our time and energy to making sure Jeffrey has every possible resource to fight this terrible disease, all the while trying to stay positive and not disrupt the lives our two other young children, Amelie and Lincoln, ages six and seven respectively.
Thanks to the amazing support of our community, family and friends during the 16 month, we were able to focus on Jeffrey's care when needed, and raise Amelie and Lincoln in a loving environment with the help of Annie's younger sister Julie, our oldest daughter Mercedes, and mother Diane during several of our trips to NYC.

Our annual health insurance deductible is $5,000, and we owe it already for 2013. We still owe over 3,000 for last year's deductible, and some medical bills still need to be paid for medical care received by Jeffrey in late 2011. Our family would greatly benefit from your donations for assistance with our deductible, our monthly health insurance premium of $1,000, monthly medicine deductibles for expensive drugs given at home, and living expenses that some times require us to support two households. At this point in our journey to beat this cancer we are starting too experience serious financial hardships, and greatly need your continued support.
No donation is to small, and every dollar helps.
