Our friend, Howard Wright, has just been diagnosed with stage 3 throat cancer.  He's talked to the doctors and he's made a game plan but they WON'T EVEN PROCEED WITHOUT THE $8500 upfront out of pocket costs!!!  How is this even right?!?!?!  Obviously, that's a rough upfront cost, even with great insurance!  
We're doing a go fund me to help him get all of the upfront costs taken care of as well as the other costs associated with fighting this horrific disease.  He shouldn't have to worry about the money, he should be able to focus on getting better and healing!  I would hope that if I were in this situation, my friends would come together and try to help me so that's what we're doing for Howard!  If we all donated $10 or $20, we could put a HUGE dent in his medical expenses and he could focus on healing!  Share this with everyone you know, help if you can.  Skip that coffee, that lunch out to help a friend!  Here are all the costs associated with what he's facing and where we came up with the amount to help.  There is no pressure here, we know not everyone is in a position to help but if you are and feel led to help, please do!  We have to look out for each other, we're a family!
