Cancer Messed with the Wrong Guy!

Donation protected
You are never prepared to get the phone call that someone in your family, someone you love, is in the fight of their lives.  In February of this year, at 32 years old, our brother Jake was diagnosed with colorectal cancer.  Since that day he has endured numerous tests and several chemo treatments, but we are still at the base of the hill in this fight. 

14 years ago, Jake followed in our father’s footsteps and joined the Walker Fire Department in Walker Michigan.  He has also been an EMT for the last 12 years. 

Jake is always ready to lend a helping hand when needed, and the only thing he loves more than helping others when they need it most is his family.  He and his wife, Chrissy, have 2 beautiful daughters, Emmalyn (4) and Caroline (1).  They love to go camping, fishing, kayaking, and just generally being outside. 

Due to Jake’s profession, he is not able to work while receiving his treatments and the medical bills are starting to roll in.  He is still facing major surgery and continued chemo treatments after that.  It is a long battle, but he is facing it with unwavering courage and strength. 

Joshua 1:9  Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. 

We are asking for help to cover his medical bills so that He and Chrissy can enjoy their time with their girls without having to worry about the money needed for medical bills. 

Thank you from his sisters,

Mindy, Dani, and Amanda
