Hi, my name is Christine Lewis and I'm fundraising to help support my brother Rick Couture.
Sadly, Rick was diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer which has spread to his bones. He is currently on hormone therapy that he takes daily and gets injections every 3 months. It’s not a permanent solution and there is no cure however, he continues to be optimistic. Currently, he cannot work and has a very hard time walking. Rick is one of the hardest-working people I know. He's been at the Manchester Health Department for many, many years and without knowing what the future holds, he cannot continue to work.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected many families across the globe, Rick and his wife Madeleine are no exception. Madeleine was the office manager at Kiddie Corner Day Care for over 20 years. The daycare struggled during the pandemic and therefore was forced to close its doors. Madeleine is now out of a job and needs to stay home to take care of Rick. Rick needs care 24/7.
This is a tough time for them and they are much too humble to ever ask for help. Rick has been my biggest cheerleader throughout my life. He has supported my business endeavors, been there through my breast cancer diagnosis, volunteered at my events, and always tells me how proud he is of me. I am forever thankful for his support. Now it's my turn to support him.
Please consider donating to help alleviate the financial burden that comes with a cancer diagnosis. No amount is too little and will really make a difference in their lives.
