Need Temporary help with Medical Coverage

Donation protected
We are Mark and Jana Fox. We have been married 29 years this month. We have had good and hard times, but never did we think we would ever be going though this Journey. Mark and I met 30 years ago at my Mother's Bakery and Deli in downtown Kennewick. As we remember back to the days when I was living on the streets of Seattle doing Meth and other drugs. My Mother told me it was time to come home and with one day clean, I headed home to work at her Bakery with her. I joined NA and started my road leading to 30 years clean. The second week of working with my Mom, a man came into the Bakery for a Mocha and trying to promote beverages to sale in the store. I thought him a nice enough guy but the next time he came in for a drink, he was sweating and removed his glasses. With my first look into his amazing blue eyes, I told my mom that I was gonna marry that man. We were married one year later and had our first and only child the next year. Our son was born with Autism and remains with us. We have always been a close and hard working family. Mark has always suffered from Heartburn but had it under control. Last May, Mark has what he thought, was the worst heartburn he had ever experienced. After a few tests, they informed us that Mark has a malignant tumor in the center of his esophagus. At this point Mark has been through 6 weeks of Chemotherapy, radiation, doctors and being sick. Mark has not been able to work and ran out of vacation pay, sick pay and medical coverage. Mark has qualified for early disability, however, he does not have benefits until January and his Medical coverage ends October 31st. We need to pay the premium for November and December until there is an income to cover the Insurance costs. The Cobra premium is $1,377.50 for the both of us each month. We are asking for any help we can get to cover two months of premiums and then will be able of paying the premiums ourselves. Mark needs to undergo surgery soon and we have exhausted all avenues of asking for help. We are still praying that all goes well with his surgery and they are able to remove the cancer. He will be reliant on a feeding tube for 3 months and to loose medical coverage now would be devastating. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any help you can give.
