Caring For Grandpa John Colburn & Aunt Penney

Donation protected
Today I found out that my Grandpa John has cancer He's been given, at best, 6 months....He has been in the hospital for a few days due to being unable to swallow and hold food down....He had been having problems with  swallowing for a few months but never really told anyone how severe the problem was...When he noticeably was losing weight, my Aunt Penney began reaching out to his doctors for help....Sadly, with our current situation (Covid-19) they weren't able to get him into be seen for several weeks out.....So, my Aunt made the choice to take him to the hospital after he went 4 days without being  able to eat or even drink..The Doctor found a mass at the bottom of his esophagus and a spot on his lung...They did a biopsy and here we are....As a temporary way for him to be able to eat and drink, they're placing a stent in the esophagus.....My Grandpa John is a kind, funny and caring  Man....He just didn't want to worry anyone....
.....Now, my Aunt Penney, who after 20 years, had to take a $1,500.00 a month pay cut and lost her longtime position in her career, is full of WORRY, STRESS & ANXIETY.....She is going to have to take an unpaid leave at her new position and she's TERRIFIED of losing her Father and her job on top of it..
......I know times are tough right now for so MANY people, so I fully understand if you can't donate....PLEASE, say a prayer, think positive and happy thoughts for my Grandpa and Aunt Penney
It's my intention to raise as much money as possible to help with rent, utilities, gas, medical, groceries or ANYTHING that my Grandpa may want or need to keep him happy & comfortable......
...We aren't PROMISED tomorrow.....PLEASE, TELL THOSE YOU LOVE THAT YOU LOVE THEM AND HUG THEM TIGHT......
