Help Paul Emerick(Coach) w medical living expenses

Paul needs our help!

As many of you know, Paul was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in May of 2015. Since then he has been undergoing bi-weekly chemotherapy treatments, rarely getting time off.


Paul has always been a work-aholic. Since going to construction sites with his dad as a kid, he always loved to build and fix things.


Whether it were nights, weekends or holidays, it didn't matter to him as long as he got the job done and his customers were happy.


As weak and sick as he was throughout his courageous battle against cancer, Paul still continued to do what he loved most.


As the years went by, the cancer continued to spread to his liver and lungs. His new treatments took a huge toll on him and left him unable to continue working in construction.

but Paul doesn't quit anything!


With more bad days than good, he continued to fight the cancer and started painting to make ends meet.


6 months ago his doctor told him he absolutely could not continue doing the work he was doing. He wasn't sure what he was going to do since that was all he had ever known. Again, not wanting to give up and not wanting to rely on anyone for help he took whatever money and strength he had and setout to open Paul's Pit Stop, a roadside BBQ stand. Although he had never worked in the food industry before, he was determined to make it work to support himself. After 5 months of ups and downs, Paul's Pit Stop opened.


2 weeks later, the doctor informed him that the cancer was wreaking havoc on his liver which was why he was in so much pain. He was given a few options and ultimately decided to enter a clinical trial which would include radiation and chemotherapy. This new treatment left him too weak and sick so he had to close the Pit Stop.


Over the years Paul has always been the first person to help those that need it. He has organized countless fundraisers to benefit our military and first responders. Underneath that tough exterior is the most kind hearted person you will ever meet. He is too proud to say it, but Paul needs our help. This is our chance to help him.


Any donation, no matter the size, will help Paul immensely during this stressful time.

We appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and donations. Thank you all so much!
