Family help for Jennifer Thanepohn's family

My name is Debra and my friend Jennifer is being treated for stage 4 cancer. Her husband Bobby wrote the personal note below.

Our family is going through a difficult time, and we are reaching out for your help. Jennifer, my wife, is battling stage IV adenocarcinoma that has metastasized, and she needs frequent treatment and care. Our son, Preston, also requires full-time care due to his special needs. Jennifer and I have shared responsibility for Preston's care, but with Jennifer's illness, I am now taking on additional caregiving responsibilities to ensure that they both receive the time, attention and care they need.

I am taking unpaid leave through the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to provide the necessary support. Caring for them is a significant responsibility, and it is crucial that they receive the care and support they need during this challenging time.

Unfortunately, taking time off from work will result in a loss of income for our family. Additionally, we are facing significant medical expenses related to Jennifer's hospitalization and ongoing treatment, even though we have health insurance. These expenses have created financial challenges for our family.

Your financial assistance would directly support us during this difficult time. Your generosity will help me take the time off from work necessary to care for my family without worrying about financial obligations. Your contribution will also help us pay for Jennifer's medical bills and ease the financial strain we are facing. Even a small donation can make a significant difference in our lives. We would be deeply grateful for any help you can provide. Thank you for your consideration and support.

Bobby & Jennifer Thanepohn
