Mark Chudoba and family need your help!

Hello. My name is JD Mason and I am starting this fund raiser for my friend and military brother, Mark Chudoba. Mark served in the Infantry, in the Illinois Army National Guard for over 20 years. He was activated on multiple tours to foreign countries, and selflessly served his State, and his Country. Mark has been married to his wife Laurie for almost 30 years. They have 4 children, 3 of which are still at home, in high school. He is not one to ask for help, but that is EXACTLY what he and his family needs. Mark was very recently diagnosed with stage 4 esophogeal cancer. He has a large tumor in his lower esophagus, spots in his liver and lung, some lymph nodes, and in his hip bone. He spent a number of days in the hospital over the last week getting his chemo port placed, a feeding tube inserted, and a liver biopsy. He starts chemo today and radiation tomorrow. Mark is the bread winner for his family. Obviously, his ability to work during all of this will be seriously diminished.... Any support you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all so much for giving!
