Brett Hall & Brenda Hall

Brett Hall 25, a father of two, has been fighting an aggressive cancer for the last 9 months. He completed his chemotherapy treatments about 3 weeks ago. Over the past couple of weeks his breathing had been getting increasing difficult. He went to the ER last week and they began treatment for pneumonia. Despite the treatment, he progressively got worse and was admitted into the ICU at Providence in Eureka on Thursday. He’s currently being treated for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) thought to be due to Bleomycin toxicity and for a possible secondary infection. Bleomycin is one of the main chemotherapy treatments he was receiving to treat his cancer. Brett is not improving as quickly as doctors would like and is being transferred to UCSF overnight as his condition is very serious and he needs to be at a hospital with ECMO capabilities. His mom, Brenda needs to accompany him to UCSF. She will miss work and need funds to help cover the costs of staying in San Francisco. The family has been managing to get by financially the last 9 months with Brett being off work, but they have utilized all their funds during that time. Please help if you can.
