We have a very close friend of ours that is going through a very difficult time right now and we wanted to help raise some money for them to help with medical bills, home bills, groceries, and anything else they may need during this time. Monica, Panda’s wife, has shared some information on what’s going on.

Thank you in advance for any and all donations!!

Family, friends, and kind-hearted strangers:

My sweet husband, Panda, has recently been diagnosed with a stromal tumor, AKA GIST. A GIST is a rare type of cancer that is normally controlled by surgery and long-term chemo. Unfortunately, Panda's tumor is much larger than what would normally be considered safe for surgery, so he will be on double the normal dose of chemo while we pray the tumor shrinks enough for surgery. He has already missed several days of work for various tests, procedures, and doctor's visits and will have even more over the next couple of months leading up to his surgery.

We understand that not everyone will be able to donate, but we appreciate the prayers and support you all have already shown for Panda and our family. We can't say thank you enough. Please continue to pray as we continue on this journey.
