Hi, my name is Joel, and I'm fundraising for my brother-in-law Todd, and my sister
Joanne.
On February 16th, Todd was diagnosed with throat cancer. The protocols to deal with
this are intense, with radiation 5x per week for seven weeks (35 treatments) plus
chemotherapy. Todd has been unable to work, and the loss of income has been
debilitating. On top of lost wages, just getting to Sunnybrook hospital from Norwood
(two hours each way) every day is really taking a toll, particularly with current gas prices.
My sister has been taking care of their farm, working on the side, as well as driving into
Sunnybrook for treatments.
I hope that whatever the rest of us can pitch in will help recover some lost wages, travel
costs, and expenses piling up at home.
Many people have reached out to ask what they can do to help. This campaign seems
like an excellent way to coordinate funds so that we can contribute.
Todd is one of the best people I know. Definitely the hardest working, and I know how
difficult it's been for them. Hopefully, together, we can put a small dent into this
challenge
