Sorry in advance for the way I write this up, I have never done a GoFundMe and I am not a writer.

Hello, this is Cory Conway. I am creating this GoFundMe because I have a wonderful nephew named Chris Corona who has been struggling with Crohn's disease for 14 years. For those who don’t know, it is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes chronic inflammation in any part of the digestive tract, most commonly the end of the small intestine and the start of the large intestine.

Chris is 46 and has 4 wonderful children. He has been a carpenter by trade since he finished high school. He is such a strong person at heart and ignores pain. He was still working when the pain got so bad they had to call 911. He is about 6’1 or 6’2, and yet he only weighed 130 pounds when he got to the hospital.

He is at home now and realizes that he may not be able to work again and is in the process of going on disability. This might take up to 6 months, and he needs some money to get by in the meantime. This is where you come in. Even if you can only donate $5, it would be much appreciated.

He still wants to do side work with carpentry, so please keep him in your prayers that he will be able to gain weight so he can get back to the things he loves to create with wood, like additions to homes, wonderful beach carvings, and custom indoor closets. Bring him an idea with wood, and he can make it happen. My nephew has the biggest heart I know. If you knew him, he would always treat you with kindness.

Thanks, Uncle Cory Conway
