Andrews fight against brain cancer

Donation protected

On March 28th Andrew had a seizure at home. After many tests, they found a large tumor in Andrews brain.
April 6th he had surgery at UC Davis to have the tumor removed. The next few weeks he recovered well and even started taking long walks.
On April 27th Jeanette, his mother got the news no Mother wants to hear. Andrew has stage 3 brain cancer. Anaplastic Astrocytoma to be specific. The next day while talking to the Doctor Jeanette was told this type of cancer is treatable but not curable. The tumor will keep growing back quickly and aggressively. Essentially this is Terminal.
This is something they will have to deal with for the rest of his life.
It goes without saying that the news is devastating for the family. If you know Andrew, you know he is a sweet, loving and kind. He loves the out doors. Going on hikes, taking beautiful pictures of natural and playing music is just a few of his hobbies.
Andrew is about to go through the fight of his life, for the rest of his life. He will be starting chemotherapy and radiation at the beginning of May. Andrew, Jeanette and his father David are preparing to move down to Sacramento for 6 weeks while in treatment.
We can never predict something like this will happen to someone in our family. We are asking for help to pay the cost of travel, lodging and loss of income. Any amount will help. If you are not financially able to help, please consider sharing.
All prayers are also accepted. Thank you for your support.
