Alex Clark's Medical Expense Fund
Donation protected
This "GoFundMe" page was created to help our family during this trivial time, as my fiance has been battling brain cancer, specifically an oligodenroglioma.
Alex was diagnosed six years ago and we all felt very confident that if there was any reoccurance, it wouldn't be any time soon. So we went back school, got degrees in Electronics Engineering, and were then graced with the birth of our son. Our son is now two years old, and we decided to try to fulfill our dreams with having two children. We found out in May that we were having another child. By the end of May, we were unfortunately told that there was regrowth after five good years. We had a very tough summer, for Alex started having seizures frequently. He then had his second cranionomy (brain surgery), and suffered many complications after. He had a cerebral stroke, in which he was hospitalized for a month, relearning how to walk, relearning cognitive and motor function, and other therapies to adjust to daily living. We got through it by the grace of God, all of the love and prayers, and with Alex's resilience.
After all we've already went through, now we are dealing with chemotherapy. The chemo is a cocktail of three drugs that will go on for nine months. After that starts radiation. We still have a long road ahead of us.
It was suggested that I start this page after a friend started a benefit for our family, and those that couldn't attend, wanted a way to donate. The funds will go to our monthly bills, for Alex is unable to drive and work, and we are expecting our daughter to be due in January. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to all that have helped already and that plan to help. All of the love and supprt alone has been overwhelming. I'm not sure where we would be if it wasn't for people coming together during this time. Thank you, from the bottom of my Heart.
