Hello Friends and Family. As many of you know, Christian Melnick is continuing to fight his battle against cancer. He has been out of work for the last few months, as he has been focusing on treatment and healing. Christian still has multiple tumors in his neck and shoulder area that are causing him much pain, affecting the use of his left arm, and placing limitations on his activity. On top of this, he has had to deal with infections in his mouth and nasal cavities that have delayed the more aggressive treatment he so much needs. Although he still has a long road ahead of him and his condition is still debilitated, he has been asked to go back to work or lose his job.

Christian and Irene are the parents of 9 beautiful children. As many of us parents know, it is a difficult world we live in for raising children, both culturally and economically. Thus far, they have been able to home school and provide for their family without accumulating debt or receiving assistance of any kind. That is remarkable. Unfortunately, since Christian has been out of work, they have for the first time in their marriage had to do so now.

In order to help alleviate this burden, we are trying to raise funds to assist him to pay off this debt, cover medical bills and daily living expenses, so he can take the time to focus on treatment and rest that are so crucial to beat his illness.
