The "Let Ron Rest" Fund

Dear Friends, Family and anyone else who has found themselves here willing to help. Thank you so much in advance <3

As some may know, our father, Ronald Blasingame, was diagnosed with throat cancer in April of this year. His doctors advised him to start treatment immediately and soon, six weeks of radiation Monday-Friday plus a few hours of chemo every Thursday commenced. They say most people start to feel the harsh effects by week three - Dad managed to push on and power through until week four, when he had to finally stop working and just focus on getting through everything.

If you know Ron, then you know how charming, friendly and fun he is to be around. You also know he is a proud man that would not usually reach out for this type of support, which is why we come to you humbly on his behalf.

He is now home from his latest hospital stay (it’s been a back and forth with his doctors and nutritionist to get him on a stable and sufficient diet/pain regimen that can be maintained at home) and hopefully will continue to heal from his treatments until we can get the next pet scan in a few months.

In the absence of his normal income, along with the mounting bills from treatment and hospital stays, we are starting this “Let Ron Rest” fund so that our Dad can continue to rest and focus on healing, and to support Nancy in maintaining their home as she continues to be an amazing partner and caretaker.

Financial stress is not something anyone dealing with such a major illness should have to endure, so any contribution you can spare, small or large, is much appreciated.

As this platform requires fees, we are also accepting contributions directly should you want to send them by other means. Please reach out to [email redacted] [dot] com for details on this.

The total we are setting for this fund is to cover the 5k co-pay, plus a few months of monthly bills. Thank you again for any support you can offer at this time and for sharing this fund with others who may be in a position to contribute.

All our love,
Ron’s Daughters - Samie, Reyna, Alexandria and Ama
