Jack Jack & the Weissingers need a little assist!!
Donation protected
May 2020, 8 years old Jack Weissinger , youngest of the Weissinger family was diagnosed with Stage 3 Metastatic Melanoma. CANCER!!!.
Having had cancerous lympnodes removed, several weeks later and Jack would have to endure routine testing every few months for the next few years.
Recently, at a routine scan, doctors discovered another portion of skin that they are concern about ( Yet cautiously optimistic). This week ( January 27, 2021) doctors are again removing an area of concern, for another biopsy.
Realizing now that this will be a long road, likely years of testing at the very least, for the nine 9 year old. Bills are starting to come in more regularly and increasing more than the family anticipated. Sadly their insurance does cover as much as they had hoped. Between, the 2 hours of driving each way for the testing and the actual cost of the quarterly scans. Rob and Ange are spread thin mentally and financially. Adding another procedure is just making things worse, But, like many of us, will do whatever it take to give our children a chance.
During a recent conversation, The family mentioned selling off some things in their home to make the make the bills.
Indtead, I decided to start this fundraiser, before that point is reached. I am hoping to funding will help with the incoming bills. Jack in my daughters BEST friends , My Wife's God son, and an all around great kid. Those of us who know the Weissinger, know that they are a proud family of which asking for assistance is tough ( like most of us ).
Funds donated will go primarily to the medical bills and assist with the financial burdens associated with these circmstances.
