Please help James Cook

Donation protected
My brother James (Jay) Cook is a 56 year old father of 5  and grandfather of 13. For the last 30+ years, James and his wife Andrea have lived in rural Missouri and operated a sole proprietor  heating and air conditioning service business. The business allowed them to raise their kids and put a roof over their heads, but they could never afford health insurance. 

In November 2015 James became ill and had to stop working. Andrea was working part time at Walmart, so they still had a little money coming in "to keep the lights on". In December James was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. The cancer spread to his bones and broke his spine requiring surgery and a lengthy hospital stay. Andrea took leave to be with James as he was hospitalized. He's back at home now and requires full time care. Andrea is now caring for him and that leaves them with very little income.

Even with the family chipping in to help out, they are falling further behind on the bills so we decided to launch this fund raiser. Our goal is to collect enough money to cover the mortgage, groceries, travel to and from the hospital for treatments and utilities for the  next 6 months.

Sadly, James does not have much time left. We don't want them to spend this precious time agonizing overbills. Please help us meet this goal....
