Help Jeff Chamberlain Fight Mouth Cancer

Life can change in an instant, and that is exactly what just happened to Jeff Chamberlain and his family. In the last month, Jeff, husband to Jill for 27 years, father to Grace and Cooper, was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of head and neck cancer. 

  

Thank God, doctors acted quickly. On Oct. 27, Jeff’s medical team performed an extensive 10-hour surgery to remove the cancer from Jeff's head and neck and to reconstruct his mouth and neck. Given his diagnosis, the long road to recovery ahead of him, and the necessary medical treatments to follow, Jeff will be out of work for some time. And Jill, who works in the practice with him, will be homebound to serve as his caregiver. This will leave the family in a scenario they could have never imagined: unable to work, with mounting bills.

Being a proud, hardworking, self-employed chiropractor for 30 years, as well as a loving husband and father who has given himself unconditionally to others in all areas of life, the immediate future is terrifying and uncertain.

Jeff will be in recovery for an unforeseen amount of time. The family, meanwhile, must worry not only about his health, but also find a way to keep the business operating. The care of patients is of the utmost concern to Jeff. Thankfully, the chiropractic community is incredibly supportive of each other in times like these. Jill has been working tirelessly to find coverage so that the office remains open and patients still receive the care they have come to know and love. But without Jeff, the man who built the practice from scratch, managing this new reality and its challenges will not be easy. 

Jeff has helped thousands of patients live healthier lives and now is faced with his own health crisis, an unimaginable stress for his family who will shoulder the hardship as best they can, but hopefully with some help from friends.    

It is some of their friends who have put together this GoFundMe campaign as the Chamberlains will be faced with medical debt.

Can you help, even a little bit? Every donation to Jeff’s medical fund, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. All monies collected will help the family pay for Jeff’s surgeries and ongoing treatments to restore his health.

If you can help Jeff and Jill at all during this unimaginable time, please consider donating. Thank you. You will be in our prayers, as we hope Jeff will be in yours.
