Bill Galbraith's Medical Expenses
Donation protected
On December 29th, Bill Galbraith was taken to the Newport Hospital by his daughter, Haley, because he had been showing extreme memory loss and confusion. In Newport they did a CTScan and discoverd a large mass in the left frontal lobe of his brain. They then transported him to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane. They did an MRI at SH that same afternoon. They opted to do brain surgery on Friday, December 30th. The surgery was successful, and they were able to get most of the mass, but there were just parts of it that had grown in other areas that couldn't be removed. After some testing, Bill was diagnosed with Grade IV Glioblastoma (Malignant Brain Tumor), the most agressive cancer that begins within the brain. Doctors believe the cancer is exclusive to his brain.
Following his release from the hospital, he will be moved to St. Lukes rehab facility in Spokane for a few weeks, and the process after that will be radiation and chemotherapy. The path will be long and difficult, and expensive, which is why we are posting this GoFundMe account. He does have Medical coverage, but there are expenses that will not be covered; there will be hotel and travel expenses for Haley, as well as some lost wages, that she will need help with as well. Those that know Bill, know that he is proud and if he could stop this, he would, but sometimes a helping hand is what is needed. If you do not feel comfortable donating through this process, but you'd like to help, there is an account set up at Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union. The account is set up under Darleen Fitzhugh S2 - the S2 designates it is for Bill Galbraith Donations. You can go to any one of the branches and make a deposit, or if you want to write a check, you can make it out to Darleen Fitzhugh, with Bill's name in the memo line. Mail your check to: CDFCU, PO Box 216, Coulee Dam, WA 99116.
With all our hearts, we thank you for any and all donations.
