Donations for Tadge Knepp

Tadge is 20 years old and was raised in Daviess county. He is a member of First Mennonite church. In June of 2018, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, and had surgery to remove it all. His checkup came back great, and was told he was cancer free. Fast forward to December of 2018. He moved in with his fiancee and 2 year old son. Tadge kept losing weight and energy, and on January 2nd, went to the hospital while at work for complications and found it had came back and spread to his lungs and abdomen. Tadge started chemo in February down in Louisville at Norton's hospital. After 4 rounds of chemo and tube in his kidney to save him from losing it, he had finished at the end of april. The doctor wanted a checkup in June. Tadge started recovering very well and went to his checkup, where they noticed his lymph nodes in his abdomen were oddly swolen. He was then referred to Indianapolis, and found in July would need surgery to remove his lymph nodes in worries teratoma was forming . August 2nd came and underwent surgery. He had 60 lymph nodes removed, and 2 tumors that tested positive for teraroma. At that time they were staying with a friend and on the 19th of August, a bad storm had blown a tree over onto there house. Tadge, his fiancée and child are currently in a hotel in Scotsburg, IN. September 5th checkup they found what seemed to a tumor in his left lung and possibly  groin area. The 25th  he went back for futher evaluation, and the suspected tumors were growing. Tadge is scheduled for another surgery January 8th of 2020. The people they were staying with said their house would be finished and remodeled by thanksgiving & they no longer want them living with them. Tadge is still currently unable to work, and his fiancee is a shift leader at Popeyes. They have no way of transportation, and really no place to go. They have tried all they can, and have not been able to find a place or an affordable vehicle.




I am wanting to try to get them a reliable vehicle & help get them on their feet.
