Friends of Fred Scheu

Fred has a very rare form of cancer (Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis) that usually effect young children, he is one of about 8 people in the country that has this. It took a long time to diagnose this form of cancer, It starts on your skin as a rash and it has moved to his bones and other parts of his body . Fred has gone through numerous rounds of chemotherapy , he has never quit fighting, and last year underwent a bone marrow transplant , this has left his immune system depleted ,and he cannot return to work.  Fred needs to  wear a mask outside his home and surgical gloves, to protect him from harmful germs.  Fred cannot eat prepared food or restaurant food. Fred has depleted his savings and exhausted his sick time his vacation time, and his disability benefits  and it has been very hard on his family.
