I’ve never done this before, and it’s time I put my pride aside. Derek and I have always tried to help others as much as we were able to and I guess now it’s our turn, as much as we hate it. The hardest thing to do as adults, is to ask for help, especially monetary help.

Cancer/Illness doesn’t just hurt one person, it hurts families. The cancer may be gone, but the side effects continue, the suffering continues, the worry doesn’t end, the financial hardship doesn’t just go away. I have no sick time or vacation time left at my work, which means I do not get paid for time taking Derek to appointments, when he needs my help at home, when I get sick, or when Dustin gets sick and needs to go to Dr. I do not have the option to work from home. Of course, Derek’s has been depleted and he won’t be able to work for some time. It’s just getting harder and harder to meet our monthly bills, gas and groceries. We know we aren’t the only ones that are going through hard times, so if all you can help with is prayer, then that’s enough for us.

Thank you from the bottom of our ❤️!!
