Dear Readers,

My name is Jim Bridges, a piercer with over 20+ years of experience in the industry, a loving wife, and amazing children. We understand life is hard for everyone, but we hope you hear us out and help even a little bit.

My wife has gotten extremely sick, so much so that she landed in the hospital, and it was absolutely terrifying. The doctors found a mass on her brain, and we are currently waiting for the UW specialist to figure out the best course of action on how to deal with this mass. Currently, they have my wife on medication and have suggested a few options. We, along with them, are trying our hardest to figure out what to do first and what would be the best course of action.

I work a lot, but with everything happening, I have been working fewer hours to stay home with her and help more around the house, with the kids, and overall making sure she is okay. My wife is my biggest fan, number one supporter, and would help anyone if they asked. She doesn’t ever ask for much. She is what makes our house a home and keeps it together while I work. She is the best woman I know and is truly my whole heart.

Unfortunately, with the circumstances, we have found ourselves in a situation where debt is now piling up. The money raised would be going to helping pay for her medication, treatments, bills, and other associated costs as well. Asking for help is extremely hard, but for her and our family, I am.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we appreciate any and all help.

Update:

She will need a craniotomy. They are going to remove it or as much of the lesion as possible, then send it to pathology for diagnostic (what kind of cancer) then chemotherapy and radiation.

They are trying to get her in by the end of December. There's still so much, she needs for recovery.
