Help Josh beat Brain Cancer

Our brother Josh is 35, a man full of of love,  At the end of June,  Josh, Elise, Harry and Elijah flew to The USA and were in Austin Texas and at the beginning of July  Josh was talking in front of church and had a seizure. He was in intensive Care in a hospital in Austin,  Texas, USA . An MRI showed that the very large brain tumour and it was growing very fast, he required emergency surgery and treatment before he, Elise and the boys can return back home to Australia.  Josh went through 12 hours of emergency brain surgery on the 4th of July and thanks to a wonderful neurosurgeon Dr Kim, Josh made it out of surgery with no deficits.   

But it does not end there, Josh now requires urgent follow up treatments, with all the advanced medical treatments for his type of brain cancer close by at one of the top rated cancer institutes in the USA Called MD Anderson,  treatments and clinical trials that are not offered in Australia. Josh, Elise and the boys will be moving to Houston for a few months for Josh's treatment. Because he is not a US citizen and has no US medical insurance to cover his life saving treatments  we are desperately back  home trying to fundraise for his treatment.   His first appointment at MD Anderson is on the 25/7/19, this required a
$18 000 USD deposit before he goes, our parents, Josh's mum and dad have paid this initial cost. However he was told the total cost of the treatments may reach up to $200 000 USD. 

We have started this fund-raising campaign to help them on this journey. They will need a lot of assistance with medical expenses already accrued from the hospital,   living expenses, (Josh loves his food!)  their mortgage and financial commitments at home and for all the life saving treatments to come. Josh is loved by many. Those who know Josh know he is a loving man with a big heart, a son, husband, dad, brother,  uncle, grandson and a friend too many, a soul that can not  be replaced. He is a great man, a man of faith who would do  whatever he can for anyone. 

We are asking for everyone to open their hearts to support Josh, Elise and the boys and give what you can financially to assist them on this journey so far from home. Every bit counts. Please help Josh in any way you can 



Thank you from his sisters Rachael and Jackie
