Help the Nail Family Fight Cancer and Heart Disease

Donation protected
Welcome friends and family to a homie little cabinet of the internet hosted for Justin, Melissa, and Killian--The Nail family. Our family is reaching out to you with an urgent request to support them financially during a time of significant medical need since Killian is currently awaiting heart procedure at Boston Children’s Hospital and Justin continues on-going medical treatment at home in Arizona.

Within the last week and a half, Killian was called to Boston Children’s for an exploration of some cardiac questions. Going into the weekend docs weren’t sure if his case would require Open Heart Surgery. Since then, it seems that he’s better suited for some work in the catheter lab. Of course, this medical story is ongoing, probationary, and subject to change.

You very well might have had the joy of being party to this family’s warm hospitality: Justin’s bear hugs, Killian’s jokes, tasty aromas coming from Mo’s kitchen while she hands you a glass. Come into the plant-filled room. The hope for this virtual space is to bring something of that generous and oh so human interface into this venue. A place where you, dear reader, might extend mercy, kindness, generosity, self-giving love, and a bit of yourself toward ‘hosting’ the Nails in their urgent and pressing needs. Since Justin’s third cancer diagnosis, he has undertaken full-time treatment, doctors appointments, and endured long spells in acute care, he’s been away from his engineering desk, unable to work. Melissa is committed to accompanying Justin with home-health needs, managing J and K’s medical cases, and general upkeep of the household and has been out of the chocolate shop, unable to work. Their obligation cup runneth over.

Consider their home and home life for a moment:
  • medical bills and legal expenses
  • the packing and planning required to schlep to Boston
  • nutrition, nursing, and medical errands for Justin at home
  • the time spent apart
  • meals for Melissa and family in Boston
  • a place to stay away from home
  • yard work at home
  • the laundry
  • utility bills
  • pool upkeep
  • dog sitting for long trips and appointments; etc.

Consider the freedom and abundance from which you might share. Thank you again for your attention and openness. We extend love to each of you.
