Husband Mike Rigdon Fighting Cancer

Donation protected

Dearest friends, family members, aquaintences & loved ones. As Im sure many of you guys are aware of by now, my husband, love & best friend;
Mike Rigdon was diagnosed with Follicular & CNS  Lymphoma Cancer last year. He suffered seizures & even became paralyzed on the left side of his body. He's been undergoing lengthy & intense chemo therapy treatments  as well as intrathecal injections through a surgically installed port in his head. Luckily his paralyzation has subsided. But, unfortunately his balance is still very much off, & his hearing has become a bit weaker. However he's maintained a very positive & determined mind and attitude, to work hard & starting physical therapy, but we just don't know if he'll ever regain his balance & agility as it was before. Considering that he works in high-rise construction (in the Glazier Metal & Architectural Union), & that he is undergoing chemo therapy, he is sadly unable to work at this time, & I am only working part-time, as I need and want, to help him & accompany him to all of his medical appointments, since he's not supposed to drive yet, due to his history of seizures. Our bills are substantial, & we are doing everything we can to receive some financial aid. But unfortunately we still need help to cover our monthly bills & medical expenses. So, we are humbly reaching out to you for any financial assistance. The smallest amount would help. We are not the type of people who like to ask others for anything. We've always taken pride in hard work & being self-sufficient. But, at this time we have no other choice but to humble ourselves & reach out & ask for help. Thank you for taking the time to read this. And please keep Michael in your thoughts & prayers. Sincerely, Cyrena & Michael
