Marty & Kathy McKewan

Donation protected

A tragedy struck our family on October 28 that will impact the lives of Marty and Kathy forever. They are now suffering the loss of their son Brandon. Kathy also suffered significant injuries and is now recovering. Marty did not suffer any physical injuries on October 28 but has been off work for over seven years due to heart disease. This summer our family found out that Marty has stomach cancer and since has been fighting for his life.

On November 1 Marty was admitted for emergency surgery due to a blocked aorta that cut off blood flow to the lower half of his body. Thankfully he is in recovery but will be in hospital for the next month. His original cancer surgery has now been postponed for six months.

We are reaching out at this time in hopes to take away some of the financial burden Marty and Kathy will be facing for many months to come.

Funds raised will be used to assist with living costs as the two of them will be unable to work, to assist with funeral costs for their eldest son and other unforeseeable expenses. It is our hopes that funds raised will bring some financial ease during this difficult time as moving forward Kathy will be Marty’s full-time caregiver.

Both of them need to focus on recovering emotionally and physically. Any donations will be greatly appreciated.
