G.W’s Recovery Fund

My husband was diagnosed with brain cancer on July 2, 2018.   He is the father of 4.   Our youngest child is a year old.    His medications, doctor visits, supplies,  & cost of living are very high.  He is no longer able to work or drive.  I’m working as much as I can to support our family.   We will get through this with your love & support.   I understand that not everyone can give & that’s completely understandable.  We love all of our family & friends.   Please, keep us in your prayers.  
❤️❤️❤️   — Love you!!!

I have been contemplating reposting this for a while. I just got off of the phone with a good friend & she encouraged me to do it. G & I were talking too. He read this post & approved the content. I definitely don’t want to make it out like we’re some “needy people,” but this isn’t an average situation. — Thanks to everyone that has been able to help. Thank you so much for your love, friendship, prayers & even a listening ear, when days are hard. It’s easy to overthink & overprocess the situation. — We made it to October. . I can’t believe it!!! What a blessing!!!!! Initially, we didn’t think that we would make it to this point, but we have. God has been really good. — Tomorrow marks 3 months since his brain cancer scare. It has been a rocky journey/ recovery with bumps along the way. The two of us are incredibly grateful for every single day that we spend together as a family. I have continued to work throughout all of this & have been trying very hard to provide. I’m overjoyed that I work for such a wonderful place with a team that understands. They have been very compassionate... I needed that. — Gareth isn’t able to work, due to his diagnosis. I know that he misses being productive. —> On the 10th, he sees his oncologist again. Depending on that meeting, we will know where to go from here. Financially, we have been able to pay for what he needs. Everything from supplements, vitamins, medications, supplies, clothes (he has gained 45 lbs & nothing fit - it was a blessing that he gained weight), etc have been pricey but we did it. . — The new goal is to be able to pay for a clinical trial out of state. Sadly, additional care (everything from blood work to future clinical trial associated scans) will be 100% out of pocket, due to the insurance issue. I don’t know how that will happen, but if there’s a will, there’s a way. — It really does break my heart when I hear G.W. Baker say things like, “I just really want my son to remember me” or “I want to be able to walk my son to his first day of kindergarten, one day.” The public admission is hard, but we do talk to each other about the gravity of our reality often. — We need him to be here & get better. We love him A LOT!!! It’s a strain to buy time or make time comfortable. Sadly, that awareness is there on his part & he recommunicated that today. Other than a recent immune system crash, he’s doing well physically & mentally. I still have faith in this whole process & that we will have more time together. I have some AMAZING friends & family. Thank you for caring about us & we appreciate you more than you know. ❤️❤️❤️. Love you!!!
