Andy’s "ALL IN" Will you help call Cancer's bluff?

3 days ago, my very sweet brother-in-law, Andy was taken to the ER because he thought it was Saturday and had forgotten he worked a 10hr day that day (Monday) and this concerned my sister Kaelea enough to get him in. He had also been having migraines for the last month and had been losing a significant amount of weight in a short period of time.

Things are still developing, but unfortunately as it stands right now, they have found multiple cancerous masses in the brain, as well as the spine and possible other areas.

It is not looking good and I’m not sure how much time we will have.

I wanted to wait to post this when we knew the full picture, but as the hours pass and more is found, I felt the urgency to just get this started and update as we go. I appreciate the understanding and hope you will join us on this hard journey ahead.

Andy and Kaelea live on a tight budget as it is and with all of this happening and the extreme uncertainty, there are a few areas I think this will really help them, with all of your help of course!

1. Immediate support with food/drinks/supplies for the unknown amount of time in the hospital - $3,500 (It is expensive these days and having been in the hospital for weeks over the past month with my daughter and her stroke, I know first hand)

2. $5,000 for relief of household expenses and other things like this to relieve the mental drain of knowing it is coming and the lack of being able to work for the unknown period of time to come.

3. Updated! (Found out insurance coverage) $3,500 to help cover the out of pocket maximum expenses of the insurance that I assume will actually be more, but I will not know until later and will update you all with. Andy is really worried that he will be a burden financially on them because of this and that is the last thing he needs to be worried about right now.

4. $10,000 to help cover their mortgage over the next uncertain months of diagnosis, treatment or other.

5. $10,000 - I was hoping that this portion could go to sending Andy and Kaelea on a trip somewhere (SOON), not sure how far or what judging on the severity of this, but I was hoping to give them the option to have this so they can spend quality time together in a place other than the hospital and home arena without worry of cost. Time is what matters right now.

The reason for the title of this post is that Andy really loves Texas Hold'em and over the last couple years, has gotten really good at it playing many games with friends and family. He even considered being a dealer, he loves it that much! It just seems fitting to me that this be the title, because right now, he is "ALL IN", fighting cancer for his life... for real and not just chips.

Will you go all in with Andy and help fight this battle with him and for him?

Thank you so much for reading this and thinking and praying for Andy! We truly appreciate it and hope this story ends in a positive way.
