Pap Gates' Medical Fund: Your Support and Prayers count!

Donation protected
If you're from the Quincy/Tomstown area, there's a definite chance you're blessed to know my pap Gates, aka Big Wayne. That man is a storyteller of all stories, especially when it comes to hunting. He talks to strangers like you're his best friend, and most importantly, he'd give you the shirt off his back.

On February 16th, he was hospitalized and had surgery after taking a fall on ice at home, and not too long after, on February 28th, he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colorectal cancer. On April 9th, he started his first chemo treatment.

Both my grandparents are retired and live off a fixed income. They would whoop my behind if they knew what I was up to, but I would like to try to lessen some of their worries with the hospital/doctor bills coming through. My grandparents have been the strong foundation that made my mom, uncles, my sister, my cousins, and me who we are today. I know times are hard for everyone, but if you could find it in your heart to donate or send a prayer, I know they'd appreciate it! Thank you and God bless you all ❤️
