Help Frank and His Family Through Cancer Battle

In our little small knit community when a family friend needs help, we all band together to do EVERYTHING that we can in order to help! WE humbly ask for your contributions, no matter the amount, to ease the financial burden on his family during this trying time. Your support can make a real difference in Frank’s battle against this relentless disease. Read below Frank’s story below:

Frank is a Gulf War Veteran. He served in the Army as a ParaTrooper during the Gulf War and Desert Storm.

He loves life, and loves Jesus and our country. He is a member of Raleigh Road Baptist Church and has grown there as a Christian over the years alongside his wife of 24 years.

He has two GORGEOUS daughters, and two AMAZING grandchildren.

He has always loved working with his hands, in cabinetry, woodworking, and now as an electrician. His most treasured memories are softball tournaments with his team "The Nats".

In June, his back started causing him unbearable pain. After several scans, and trips to several Immediate Cares, ERs and even the chiropractor..He has been told he has SmallCell Carcinoma from Lung Cancer. It has spread to his Lymph Nodes, liver and sacrum. This is a very aggressive poison.. it's not curable, but is treatable. However, it has the potential to always come back.

He starts Treatments on Aug. 20, 2024, which will consist of 2 chemotherapy treatments and 1 immunotherapy all done by infusions.

His wife is a self employed house cleaner. She will have to rearrange her schedule in order to get him to his appointments.. which means they will both be spending a lot of time unable to work.

He does have insurance, and they will be looking into all resources to see what will help.

This is overwhelming in the finances alone.. They are humbled and know they are going to need any financial help they can get.

They also don't like asking for it.

If you are able and would be so kind..please know they are forever grateful. If you cant.. please know that prayers for them are better. Their faith is strong, and they know God is able.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Frank and Regina Pridgen
