I’m usually good with words, but today I find myself struggling. My oldest sister, Jordan Mabey, sent me a message the other morning asking me to use my words to help her. Words to share what her family is experiencing. Words to get people to rally around her husband, David, who beat cancer 5 years ago and recently found out he has to take up that fight again. That fight that we all know.

David has an amazing family. They live in an amazing community and have roots in other amazing communities. They have love and people willing to help with meals and to transport kids to and from activities. What they don’t have, and what every cancer patient has to worry about while they worry about the physical fight for their lives, is the knowledge that they will survive this fight financially.

So my words today are asking for that help. Let Jordan’s worries be for her husband. Let them worry about each other. Let them worry about treatments and drug therapies and radiation and chemo. Let them worry about that part. Help me take the financial worry from them.

David and Jordan have been married for almost 24 years and have 4 children. Four children that spent their school year during the first fight with cancer isolating themselves so they wouldn’t bring harmful germs into the house with their immunocompromised father. Four kids that had to contemplate a future without their bright light of a father and his dad jokes. Four kids that know way too much about Non-Hodgkins Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) Stage 4.

David is solid and hard working. He loves his family and he loves the Lord. So, here are my words for you and for Jordan. Help them fight. Let them worry about the cancer. Help me take the burden of financial worry off of their shoulders. Please consider donating to help this beautiful family focus on what matters and help them live life rather than just surviving it.
