My brother Tim needs your help!

Tim Dovell is a blue collar guy who has been hard at work  taking care of  plumbing needs for 35 + years for his customers, family and friends. He has operated Dovell Plumbing as a 1 man shop, under the same name and telephone number in Urbana Ohio for over 25 years.  Tim has helped many people through the years.  Some that were able to pay and those who could not. A proud and self-sufficient man's man he now finds himself in the difficult position of needing help.   He was recently diagnosed  with stage 3 cancer of the esophagus and stomach.

Tim was hit hard during the current recession and little by little he was unable to maintain his modest way of life.  He finally had to cancel his health insurance. He now has a high deductible policy which does not include most of his doctors because the are "out of network".  That puts him in the position of having to find another policy/carrier which means another high deductible must be met for 2014 and another to satisfy in rapidly approaching 2015.

It's hard to imagine spending your life savings to keep your business afloat, finding out you have cancer and then finding out you won't physically be able to work at your craft again, all in the blink of an eye. Tim needs our help.

He needs to raise $45,000 or more so he can catch up his bills. He needs to pay the doctors that have been treating him, pay his deductibles and his health ins premiums. Not to mention of course his everyday expenses like food, rent, utilities, and  gas to get to the doctor .

His family has been helping but they can't keep up. If everyone that reads this donates $5, $10, or $20 he could reach his goal in a short time and not have burdened any one person too much. Let's give Tim Dovell a hand up.

Tim has 2 brothers and 5 sisters, 15 nieces and nephews, 7 great nieces and nephews, 2 great, great nephews, and countless friends, including his new friends like you.
Send a couple of bucks and a prayer for a hard working American.

Please help Tim!

Thank you,
The Dovell Family
