"When God's people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality" Romans 12:13

For those of you who know Greg Ciola and his family, you know they will be the first ones to offer a hand and give the shirt off their backs to help someone in need. Today we are asking for your help on his behalf. Greg has always been involved in health and fitness his whole life. He takes clean eating and working out to the next level. Back in 2019 he noticed a lump under his arm and brushed it off as being an ingrown hair. Almost a year had passed when finally he decided to have it checked out. He got the news no person wants to hear. He was diagnosed with stage 3 Metastasis Malignant Melanoma cancer. Overnight his life changed.

The lump was inoperable at the time so they started Immunotherapy. After 3 treatments, he suffered almost complete liver failure and had to stop treatment altogether. Surgery to remove the lump finally took place. God was able to work His magic and Greg was cancer free in 2020. This is the best news!!!! Until recent findings.

At his 6 month check up last week he had a CT scan that picked up a spot on his brain. They scheduled him for a rapid MRI which did determine that they didn't like what they saw and recommended an emergency surgery to remove the tumor. For months he has been experiencing slight deafness in one ear, numbness in his fingers. He has seen specialist after specialist with no real answers. 

Today as he plans to meet with the surgeon to discuss operating on the tumor, and the last thing he should have to be worried about is money. Greg is self employed and he will have to be out of work for a period of time. This is a huge blow financially. When you work for yourself and you have to take a leave of absence your business suffers which directly impacts your family. Greg is a husband, and a father of 4 boys. We would love to help assist him in this time of need and come together as a community, family, and friends. We realize that with the recent pandemic financial hardship has hit many homes. We appreciate anything you are able to part with. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. God Bless. 

Give and it will be given to you- Luke 6:38
