PLEASE HELP - Eric Needs Us!
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
My older brother Eric is a Grade 3 glioblastoma brain cancer survivor and warrior who has undergone awake brain surgery to remove a very large tumor, chemotherapy and radiation treatments all just in the past year and 2 months. All of his MRIs have been steady and positive. But now he and his family are faced with a new fight.
Eric has just recently had trouble with his speech the past few days, finding the right words sometimes and forming some sentences. New MRI visit 9/30/21 at Mayo Clinic revealed rapid growth of what looks to be scar tissue from all of the radiation all around the surgical site of where the large tumor was removed last year. Eric's neurologist advised another awake craniotomy is needed in order to remove this new tissue and test it to ensure no cancer remains.
Please help us pool together funds for my brother, his wife Carolyn & my nephew Vinny to offset their family income difference during Eric's short term disability as well as needing to meet their full insurance deductible and out of pocket max immediately in a few months from now.
Eric expects to make a full recovery by the start of December 2021 and has recently expressed to Carolyn that once he is all better he would like to move back to our hometown of Minnesota next year to be with all of our family up there. Any additional funds will also go towards their future moving expenses to make that wish come true for Eric.
If any of my friends have ever wanted to give me a gift this is what I want!
I’m so proud of how strong he is, and I would love if we can make him proud of us too by showing how much we care and how much we are wishing for a smooth surgery and swift recovery. ALL funds go to Eric & Family.
If you’re unable to give please consider sharing so we can reach as many people as possible!
