My name is Jana, and I am starting this account to help ease the financial burden of my husband, Fred's illness. For the past nearly 9 years, Fred has been battling stage four neuroendocrine pancreatic cancer. Throughout this terrible journey, we have never asked for any financial help. We have had a lot of emotional support from family that helped us get to this point.

Fred's illness has taken a turn for the worse, and because he can no longer work, it will put a financial strain on our family. I also would like to be able to be with Fred and be by his side as he goes through this time, and that puts an additional financial stress on our family.

We are asking that if anybody can contribute, it would be so greatly appreciated to make this time for our family a bit easier, and not have to choose between work and being together.
