Allen Hobbs Battle with CMML Cancer

My husband and I are initiating a Go Fund Me fund for our son-in-law Allen Hobbs who has CMML, a serious blood disorder entailing a lengthy treatment program. This is a re-do of an earlier attempt at setting up a campaign based on our concept of what Susan and Allen would need, however after a lengthy discussion with them we found that we had grossly underestimated the breadth of their dilemma. The medical bills are pouring in, and they are still into the in the preparation stages.

1.One or two weeks of Chemo and radiation at Carterville, IL.

2. 4 weeks of intensive Chemo in St. Louis, Mo.

3. 100 consecutive days in a hospital provided Apt. in St. Louis, requiring 24-7 attendance of his wife Susan during the stay. This will require Susan to be out of work during that period.

During this time, normal expenses of maintaining a household in Harrisburg, IL will continue, in addition to costs of transportation, food and expenses at the provided residence in St. Louis, in addition to uncovered medical costs which could be substantial.

Anyone who has found themselves in similar circumstances with their pride intact find it hard to ask for help and need someone to feel their pain and ask for help in their stead.

Any donation large or small will go a long way to change a desperate situation into an uncomfortable but do-able one.

We are hoping to raise 100,000 dollars.
