Help for Calvin and Family
Donation protected
During the past year, my family and I have gone through many trials and tribulations. My husband Calvin, was diagnosed with Stage 3 testicular Cancer with metastasis to the lymph nodes. He has gone through multiple surgeries (radical orchiectomy, port placement,etc) rigorous chemotherapy treatments, lost his hair, been in and out of work, and still puts a smile on his face. He are facing another MAJOR surgery on May 10th to remove lymph nodes and more time off work. If these lymph nodes do not come back clean Calvin could be facing more Chemo treatments.
I found out I was pregnant with our 3rd child just a month and a half before the cancer diagnosis. The pregnancy was high risk and definitely took a toll on the entire family.
During the scheduled C-Section (due to some complications) I was given way too much IV fluids which put me into Congestive Heart Failure and Acute Pulmonary Edema. There is no cure for this only treatment and management. Unfortunately this will affect everything I do from here on out. This disease affects many different aspects of our lives.
Cori, the baby, has some medical issues herself. She has been seeing a Cardiologist for a couple reasons and now will need an ultrasound of her spine.
Between my, Cori's and Calvin's specialist appointments, we have traveled more than 25000 miles in less than a year. And there seem to be many more to come.
With everything happening at one time, this is putting us into a financially hard spot to be in.
We have had multiple people approach us wanting to help in some way but we always seem to put a smile on our face and say we are ok, when in fact we do need help. It is time to swallow our pride and finally ask for that help. We are asking for prayers and if you are willing and able to make a donation, the funds will go toward any medical or household needs.
We are very appreciative of all the outpouring of love and support all our friends and family have given to us, and will never be able to actually show or tell you what it means to our family. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!
