Help for the Murray family

Donation protected
My name is Kayla Murray, and my husband is Mark Murray. He is 27. We have been married for 5 years and have two sweet girls, ages 4 and  1. We are also expecting our 3rd baby girl, due in January. I am a stay at home mom. Mark is the bread winner for our family. Recently our lives were turned upside down,   In February 2016. I got a call from Marks work advising he gotten hit in the head at work, and was being rushed to hospital. At The hospital we were told Mark had no damage to his head from the work accident, but when they did the CT Scan they found a abnormal spot on his brain. After more scans and tests we were informed it was a brain tumor, and he had to have brain surgery right away. We were terrified.   The surgery went well, but Mark would have a long recovery. He was out of work for 6 months, and we depleted our savings. In August the doctor told Mark everything was looking good and he was able to go back to work doing light duty. He was so happy. This meant we were going to be able to get caught up. Recently, that changed drastically.   For the past 2 weeks Mark was having trouble. He was having excruciating pain, and having problems maintaining his balance. He was feeling sick all the time. Finally Monday night (10-23-2016) I took him to the hospital. The pain in his neck and head was more than he could deal with, and the numbness was spreading. They ran test's and a CT Scan,  Tuesday morning the doctor had a prognosis, actually it's more like they dropped a BOMB on us. The scans revealed another tumor. This one on his right cerebellum, and it is 1.3 cm in diameter. Our hearts dropped. How can this be happening again?   Later the Doctor informed us there is no safe way to remove the tumor due to the location, and size. If they attempt surgery now it would either leave him in a coma or possibly kill him. We were informed they would have to wait to see if it grows before attempting surgary to remove it. He was sent home, still experiencing horrible pain, numbness, and problems maintaining his balance.    Just when we thought everything was over, it has started again.  We don't have insurance. The premiums lapsed while he was out of work with his first surgery. Due to the present tumor, horrific pain, and other issues with balance & numbness, Mark isn't allowed to return work.   His ability to work stopped, and our living expenses have increased.  The burden of keeping food on the table and a roof over our family's heads and now a ton of medical bills - add to that Christmas next month, and our baby due in January. The stress is unbelievable.   We REALLY HATE to ask for help, but in our current situation, it is our only option. We aren't asking for much, just enough to keep our little family from becoming homeless. ANY AMOUNT you can spare will be so appreciated.  If you can't donate, Please send lot's of prayers for Mark, myself, our two little girls, and the third one coming in January.    Thank you for taking the time to reas this.  PLEASE HELP US BY SHARING THIS.  May God bless You and yours.
