Help Andy fight Pancreatic Cancer!

I am raising money for my friend Andrey "Andy" Frolov his wife Zhanna and his 3 children, the youngest of whom is 7. Andy is only 47 and was recently diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Even though he works in healthcare, he will lose his health insurance when his treatments prevent him from working full time.

The money raised will go directly to Andy and Zhanna to help them pay the bills that will come up as his disease progresses. Bills like: the mortgage, utilities, school supplies, clothes, food, medical costs not covered by insurance (while he still has it) and any costs his family incurs during and after his treatments.

Pancreatic cancer is devastating to the patient and to the patients' families. Andy spent years studying and researching cancer and he knows as well as anyone how significant this is. His concern is for his family and their ability to make ends meet while he is fighting cancer.

If you ever met Andy, you know that he is genuine, motivated and kind. He has no intention of giving up, he will work until he can't and go back as soon as he physically can. This money will help give him more time with his family, more time to heal and give the family some breathing room financially while they help him fight this disease.

I met Andy at Physician Assistant School in Hershey PA back in 2015, he was assigned to be my mentor. He was that and much much more to me and my wife. He and Zhanna became friends, they were pregnant when we were expecting, and our daughters were born a few weeks apart. When the stress of PA school began to weigh on me, Andy saw this and helped me through school, sometimes with a simple phone call, sometimes beers and chicken wings but always with his dry humor and wise words.

Please help me support him and his family while he battles a heartbreaking diagnosis.

Update: WOW! Thank you all for donating, supporting and sharing the fundraiser for Andy, Zhanna and the kids. The response has been amazing! Thanks to the generosity of Andy's friends, friends of friends and total strangers, I am going to raise our goal. I honestly hope we continue to raise money and support Andy, Zhanna and their kids for as long as it takes.
