Help support Jim Kosak's cancer medical expenses

Donation protected
Dear Friends and Family, At this time, I am reaching out to all of you for support. After many trips to the emergency room this past year, Jim Kosak, my husband, was diagnosed in July, 2019, with stage 4 esophageal cancer which metastasized to his liver, spine, legs, abdomen, and lymph-nodes. Jim, 54 years of age, was given 6 months with no treatment and up to18 months to live with treatment. Jim and I became sweethearts in 1983, and have been married for 26 years. Together, we have a son, Noah, as well as a daughter, Holly. As you can imagine, as a family, we are devastated by this diagnosis. Jim is in a great deal of pain and is no longer able to handle many of the household chores. Consequently, this has fallen on our children and me. I am continuing to work full-time while Noah and Holly attend a local college. We are having a very difficult time keeping up with the lawn, vehicles, and household repairs, which have accumulated suddenly. This has been very strenuous, emotionally and physically, for us. However, along with the emotional turmoil that has been put on our family, there is also a huge financial strain as cancer is one of the most costly diseases. Jim and I travel four and a half hours to the Cancer Treatment Center of America every other week, which is very expensive and difficult to afford. On Friday, he receives all of his medical services at CTCA. Once Jim sees the doctors and receives his infusion, he must stay in the area for 46 hours before the pump can be removed. Right now, we are required to stay in hotels for three nights each treatment cycle. While Jim is not working, we are asking for help funding this bi- weekly trip to help pay for the gas, hotel, treatments, meals, and toll fare each time. Any donations are greatly appreciated. My family and I are, above all, asking for prayers. Please help in praying for a miracle, and for Jim to be relieved of his pain. God can do the unthinkable! Please pray that we stay strong and Jim conquers this terrible disease. - With Sincere Gratitude, Anita Kosak We thank you for all the prayers and support our family has already received! -The Kosak Family
