Hi, My name is David Estess, and I am raising money for our dear friend Andy (Manfred Hastings Sr., or as we all call him, Andy the Painter).

We work with Andy at the hospital in Poplar Bluff, and he is a true friend to us all. He is loved by all he works with within the hospital and the community. No one is a stranger to Andy as he goes out of his way to help anyone in need, whether through moral support, money or any other help he can offer. He doesn't know the word NO.

Andy was recently diagnosed with extremely rare stage 3 Carcinoid cancer. He was sent to the Mayo Clinic for diagnosis and surgery. The doctors feel that there were able to remove the two tumors and feel good about the results.

Andy has been out of work and has exhausted his vacation and sick time. He is not allowed to return to work until the end of December and needs financial support. The pressure and stress of being without the necessary funds to continue his family obligations will not help his healing and recovery.

It will be a blessing to Andy and his family if we all play a small part in his recovery. Any small donation will help!
