James' Medical Fund

My name is Brandon Rawlins. I am creating this GoFundMe campaign on behalf of one of my great friends who really needs our help. Some of my coworkers and I were thinking how to best help and we came up with this idea. James Manning works at Target and is a team leader with me there. He is an amazingly funny, smart, energetic, and all around great person and friend. Today, James found out he has bone cancer in his jaw. They believe they can get it all out, but he has to have his lower left jaw, his bottom teeth, chin, and nerves in his lower face removed to get rid of it. No one should have to go through this, He is going to Knoxville for treatment and surgery, which they hope to have November 16th. Once they remove all the cancer and necessary pieces for success to remove the cancer, James will then undergo facial reconstructive surgery. He will be in the hospital at least 2 weeks straight after all the surgeries. Once that is over and he is free to go home, James will then have to undergo chemotherapy for a period of 6 to 12 months. This is going to be a long and painful road for him and I want to do everything I can. This is where we can help. James has insurance but as you well know, this will not all be covered, and he will not be able to work for quite awhile. James and his family will need help paying all these bills and basically all the other necessary needs he may not be able to provide for himself while not being able to work. He has been to a few doctors already and the doctor bills will start piling up fast, so the money will greatly help him and his family immediately.  We cannot express the gratitude we would have to be able to give him the MUCH needed help we could deliver for him. Anything you can give would mean so much to us and I know it would mean even more to him and his family. He cannot do this alone and we don't want to let him do this alone. So if you can find it in your heart to give, please do. I will keep you all updated when new news is given to me.
