Donation protected
Hello, my name is Dan. I don't know what to say, but I'll try my best. I'm married to a beautiful wife, both on the inside and out. We have 4 fully grown kids, 11 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild. They are my inspiration, strength, and will to keep fighting every day.

The past 6 months have been a challenge, not only for myself but for my entire family. On Halloween, I experienced a stroke that paralyzed my left side. Got most of movement back, But still lacking the strength Not being able to work at this time, I'm recovering from it, but it's a long, timely process. On Feb 14th, I started to experience choking and breathing issues. It turns out I had stage 4 Squamous Cell Carcinoma. On March 11th, I experienced a heart attack and had a stent placed. It turns out I need bypass surgery. Can anything else happen? I'm about to start chemo and radiation shortly for the head and neck cancer. Then, as soon as I get done with the 7 weeks of treatments for it, I'll be going straight into bypass surgery.

The past 6 months have drained our savings completely. I am not one that ever asks for help; it's probably the stubborn Irish in me. But I don't know what I'm gonna do. I can't work, putting all the pressure on my wife Lori. She tells me not to worry about it, she's fine, but I can tell it's getting to her also. She's too strong; she'll never admit it. She has missed so much work because of me, taking me to my different doctor appointments. All I ask is if you could possibly spare something to help us in these troubled waters, it'll be greatly appreciated. If you can't, that's fine also. All funds will be used for medical relief, and to take finance strain off the family at this time. I love you all, I just don't know what to do anymore. Thank you for your time. May you all have a beautiful, blessed day!
