Tim and I would like to personally ask you to donate anything you can to help James and Kerriann Gipson. James is in the hospital in Little Rock receiving treatment for leukemia. He has been there for a little over 2 weeks and will be staying longer. Kerriann is staying by his side. Bills at home need to be paid. We will give all donations to James and Kerriann. Thank you! Please pray for them!
A message from Kerriann:
So as I lay here in James’s haunted hospital room I’m trying to think of something clever and inspirational to write. The truth is this is very humbling and a little bit embarrassing lol. I am extremely thankful that we have friends that would set this up for us. As a lot of you know James was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on April 19th. We have been in UAMS Little Rock since that day. Because of the treatment it depleted his immune system so he could not be around anyone. I had a choice of either going home and not being able to come back because they were afraid I would bring a virus or something that would cause an infection back to him. Or stay with him the entire time. I chose to stay here. Who really wants to go through this alone? My wonderful daughter in law Katie with the help of Tyler have been taking care of things at home like My animals and more importantly my kid we are scheduled to get out of this hospital on May 11th!! Thank goodness. However, because of the type of mutation James’s Leukemia has we will be back as soon as his body goes into remission. The only way to completely get rid of the cancer is a bone marrow transplant. The transplant will require him to be back in hospital for 30 days at the least. When I return back to work I will have depleted all but a weeks vacation time. It is this reason why this Go fund me was created. In preparation for his return. This is our story. I appreciate all the prayers and kind words! They are just as important as the mighty dollar!
