There but for the grace-The Dumas family needs their village

Donation protected
As many of you know, last October Jeff Dumas was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma, a devastating and aggressive form of brain cancer. Within days, his tumors were declared inoperable and his prognosis terminal. Doctors gave him 12 months to live.

Since then, Jeff has endured rounds of radiation and chemotherapy with little change to his condition. Thankfully, he is not yet at the point where full hospice care is necessary, but due to the severity of his condition and his physical size he requires 24hr support which is more than one person can manage on their own.

There are home care services that can provide this critical support, but they are not covered by insurance. If you or someone you know has ever endured a situation like this, you understand how quickly the rising medical expense and emotional toll can overwhelm and eventually cripple a family. It’s impossible to predict how long Jeff will need to be cared for before qualifying for hospice, it could be weeks or months.

We are hoping to give Jeff the care and comfort he deserves for as long as we have him. We want to make sure he can spend his remaining time with Steph, his girls, and three grandsons in as much safety and comfort and with as much dignity as possible. For all the backyard pool parties, the holiday gatherings, the laughter and joy he has so freely given, we are asking for your help. Jeff and Stephanie have opened their hearts and their home countless times to so many of us, and now it is our turn to give back.

Please, if you can, consider contributing to or sharing this fund to ensure that Jeff receives the care he so desperately needs in this final chapter of his life. Your support will bring relief to a family facing an unimaginable loss in what feels like the blink of an eye, and your generosity will ensure that he is surrounded by love and comfort in his final days.

Thank you for your kindness, for being a part of Jeff’s story, and for being a light in this difficult time.
