Mark and Elvie Ruggerio's Medical Go Fund Me page

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Tiffani Drennon and I have set up this Go Fund Me for Mark and Elvie's medical expenses and maybe get a chance to help them out. Mark has Pancreatic Cancer and Elvie has Stage 4 Lung Cancer. They are both beautiful people and I have had the pleasure of getting to know them over the past few years. Mark as many will know is very invested in wargaming and luckily for him, Elvie indulges him. :) I hope that friends family and acquaintances will help Mark and Elvie out where they can. UPDATE: Mark had surgery and it did not go well, he is now Stage 4 Terminal Pancreatic Cancer and his wife is still dealing with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. Talking to Mark he is optimistic that Chemotherapy will give him a couple years to live and with that he has asked me to increase the limit from $25,000 to $30,000. Mark is selling off his entire wargame collection, ok maybe 90%, and has started to sell on Facebooks Consim Marketplace if your interested in a unsusually hard game to find he probably has it. As always donations are awesome. Thanks to all that have donated to Mark it is very much appreciated and goes to a worthy cause.UPDATE(2) January 2024. Mark has asked me to update this page and I am of course more than happy to do. Mark is still on chemotherapy and will be for the remainder of his life. He is a true fighter and as his wife Elvie. They are both doing the best they can and the outpouring of support has been tremendous. So I for one want to Thank you so very much. This started out as a hair brain idea as I had no idea how this fundraiser worked. You all have made it what it is today. But sadly due to the regime of Chemo and the expiration of health insurance services he has asked me to update the amount to $35,000. I went and Upp'd that amount to $40,000 due to the massive support Mark has received thus far. Thank you all for supporting Mark and Elvie through this tragic event in their lives. He is a fixture on Facebook as is his wife Elvie. For all you wargames out there you may have heard of him or have been fortunate to meet him on the opposite end of a gaming table. A fierce opponent and shrewd one at that. Once again, Thank you for helping OUR friends Mark and Elvie.
