Help Patrick Fight Colon Cancer - Medical & Living Expenses

Hi, I'm Cheryl, and I'm reaching out for help during one of the most challenging times in our lives. My husband Patrick was recently diagnosed with colon cancer, and our world has been turned upside down.

The Diagnosis and Treatment

Patrick underwent surgery to remove the tumor, and while we're grateful the surgery was successful, he's now going through an intensive chemotherapy regimen. The treatment has been incredibly difficult on his body - the fatigue is overwhelming, making it nearly impossible for him to work his regular hours or maintain his usual income.

Our Financial Challenge

While I work full-time, my income alone isn't enough to cover:

Medical expenses like copays, medications, and treatments not fully covered by insurance.

Plus monthly bills like mortgage/rent, utilities, car payments, and insurance.

Daily living expenses like groceries, gas, and household necessities.

Lost income from Patrick being unable to work full-time.

How Your Donation Will Help

Every dollar donated will go directly toward:

- Outstanding medical bills and ongoing treatment costs

- Essential monthly expenses to keep our family stable

- Allowing Patrick to focus on healing without the stress of financial worry

Goal: $10,000 - This will help us cover approximately 3 months of expenses while he completes treatment and recovers.

Looking Forward

We're hopeful about Patrick's prognosis and are fighting this battle with everything we have. Your support means we can focus on what matters most - his recovery and our family's well-being.

Thank You

We are overwhelmed by the love and support from our community. Even if you can't donate, please consider sharing our story. Every share helps us reach people who might be able to help.

We will keep you updated on Pat's progress and are grateful for every prayer, positive thought, and act of kindness.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Cheryl and Patrick
