It is time I reach out to everyone and ask for your help. As you know my brother in law Chris has battled cancer for the last 10 months. A very rare cancer with a very brutal treatment regimen. Chris had to quit working almost immediately after starting treatment and stayed practically bed bound for months. Tricia, well and all of us, shuffled between work and took turns the best we could to help take care of him. There did come a time when he needed 24 hour care and Tricia and Chris made the decision that Trish should leave her job to take care of him full time. Some savings and some retirement blessed them with this opportunity.
But now, savings is gone, Chris inched back to work full time and Trish has started getting back on the job hunt. For what she does for a living, it can take some time to get back into the role that will utilize her talent.
So what am I asking? I asking if you can help me raise funds to help them over this current hurdle. There are medical bills that still need paid and many more house hold and college expenses that have been shuffled around and are now a strain for both Chris and Trish ... not a source of stress I want them to feel given how much they’ve been through.
Many of you have asked what you can do to help and I would like to see if we can raise $15,000 to get them back on their feet and moving to their life beyond cancer.
Given how wonderful everyone was who helped hector, I know we can do this. Thank you in advance for your help. It is really appreciated. If you have friends or if there are family members out there I have missed, please forward to them. It takes a village and I thank you all in advance for your generosity.
