Help Denny fight Stage 4 Angiosarcoma!

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Stacy. I am writing this today for my Uncle Denny Diehl. We are reaching out to help with his medical expenses while fighting Stage 4 Cancer. My uncle has overcome so many obstacles in his life. It all started when he was 20 in 1970; Denny was critically injured in a motorcycle accident. He survived!!!! Although it left him completely deaf due to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In 1987, Denny was part of an innovative procedure, the Cochlear implant, this was a groundbreaking procedure at the time, and Denny was one of the first recipients and was even on the news in St. Louis. Fast forward to 2020, we found out Denny had Stage 4 Angiosarcoma, a very rare and sporadic aggressive cancer. My uncle was given only six months to a year to live. His beautiful wife Jeanne, a retired Registered Nurse, suggested an integrative treatment for Denny. These treatments helped provide a more substantial quality of life, but it is very time consuming, costly and the insurance will not cover these treatments, which have proven to work for my Uncle Denny. My Uncle and Aunt have exhausted all their savings, over $50,000 dollars already spent. I am reaching out to you today for help for my uncle. We need help to cover treatment and sustain the quality of life, and the monthly cost can total over $6000. These donations will be put toward all treatments for Denny, my uncle, father, brother, husband and friend. We appreciate any help from $1 to a million from the bottom of our hearts! Denny is a wonderful man (I am not biased)! He loves to fish and will talk your ear off with his great stories. I talk a lot; that hasn't changed, but occasionally my uncle would stop responding to me when I was younger, I would grab Denny's attention and then tap his battery pack for the implant, and he would check the batteries like they were dead and smile *just like the picture above*. He pretended they were dead, but he turned the volume down not to hear my childish jabber. We need YOUR help! It is difficult for our family to ask for help but my aunt Jeanne needs your help, most importantly my Uncle Denny needs your help to fight this cancer and the only way to do it is with these treatments. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and we (my entire family and I) thank you for any help that you provide at this time.
