Help the Jones'

This is so hard.... well September 2018 our life changed drastically. I was diagnosed with Stage 3 type B melenoma. The silent killer. Everything started moving so fast. I had my first surgery in October which lead to another surgery in November. They had to remove all my lymph nodes from my left arm because it had spread. It was a slow road to recovery, and they wanted to do treatment with it. I started immunotherapy in December. At first I didn't think it was that awful. Unfortunately I only made it 3 treatments before it started attacking my organs. I ended up in the hospital, and then on steroids through March and April. In May we tried my second option. Chemo pills. I didn't make it a whole two weeks before I was back in the hospital. It attacked my liver, gull bladder, and colon. I was in the hospital for a week. Now I'm back on steroids along with antibiotics and other meds. My oncologist is out of options. I still have a long way to recovery. I need to explore other options, get 2nd opinions. No options isn't a option. My odds of a recurrence is high. Through all of this Joe has been the sole provider. I haven't been able to work. He is taking care of me, our two beautiful girls, and working his butt off. We are struggling to make it on just his income. When I'm in the hospital he can't be there with me. Our Escape is broke down, so we have to take the truck which is horrible on gas. With 2-3 appointments a week we are spending so much money on just gas. I've been resistant to ask for help, but we honestly need it. Joe could be there with me, appointments won't cost as much because we can get our vehicle running. It will make trips to the Mayo so much easier. If you can't help financially we need all the prayers we can get. We're scared, but determined to get as many answers as we can get. Thank you to everyone who has been supporting us. It's been an amazing blessing, and more then I could ever dream of.  Love, and God bless,  The Jones family For those that would rather not donate this way and wanted my address 310 Elm St. Sw Isanti, MN 55040
