Help my little brother Dennis M. Conn

Donation protected
Our family is a cancer family; dad, mom, brother - all died of cancer. I've had it twice, and my brother Dennis, has cancer yet again. I live in Idaho, Dennis lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I’m 73, Dennis - who will always be my "little" brother - is 63.   My brother Dennis is fighting for his life. Not only is he fighting cancer, he’s fighting the debt he incurred from the first two battles he won against it, years ago. Dennis has been trying to pay these bills off for years.   Earlier in this year, Dennis found himself back in the ER, as he could not breathe. After spending a few days in the hospital, he walked away with a tracheotomy and even more debt.   On August 15, 2019, he had another operation, which removed his larynx (voice box). Also, two tubes were put in his throat, and a flap was rebuilt so he can breath and eat, hopefully. He will be fed through a tube for two months or more - not sure if and when he will ever be able to talk again.   Dennis cannot work anymore. He was trying to retire from his semi-part-time, almost full-time job, as a janitor at the U of M Hospital. The retirement funds will be less than what he was making while working. He only has enough money for about two months rent. He hasn’t been financially able to own a car for well over 10 years.   Recently, Dennis was back in the hospital, and in the operating room again. There were problems with the tubes in his throat. They think this fix will stop possible future infections.   Dennis has always worked and paid his bills but he no longer can. Things are urgently needed; money to pay for the hospital, food and rent. Dennis could use help with rides as well, both to and from the hospital. If anyone from the Ann Arbor area reads this and would like to help, please reach out.   He is my little brother and I've given what I can, so now I'm asking for your help and prayers.   Please, help my little brother fight, and even more, help him to live.
