Help Joe Live

Donation protected
First I’d like to thank you for taking time to read this.  I’m raising money for my very close friends husband Joe.  A few months ago he was being treated for an ulcer and after realizing that nothing was improving he decided to take it further.  He got the necessary scans needed to find out what was wrong and then, like a punch in the stomach he received the news, “it’s pancreatic cancer.”  This man is 48 years old.  He does not smoke, not a drinker but once every few months, an active runner and a new husband to his wife Bonnie.  Why him?  Why anyone we love? A few weeks ago he sat for my parents dog Omar.  Omar immediately connected with Joe instinctively because he’s sick and dogs just know a good person.  They sense it.  They took a picture of Omar on the couch and Joe, knowing how much my parents adore the dog he decided to sketch a gorgeous picture of him as a gift for their anniversary.  He’s sick all the time and not even feeling like leaving his house but draws a picture for someone else being the selfless person that he is.  He needs a procedure done but Its out of state and insurance won’t cover it.  Please help.  He deserves to live and even though insurance companies just consider him as the account number they have, he’s a person.  Anything will help. Please and thank you for your time.
