Please Help Steve & His Family
Donation protected
Hi friends and family , I am starting this page for my friend Steve. He is in a battle with stage 4 cancer, needs all the help we get him . Please if you can donate any thing $1, $5 or whatever. If you can't money , we understand, please share the web link . Here is his story
On January 11th, Steve was diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Head and Neck Cancer. Six days later, he underwent a 12-hour surgery to remove the cancer. The cancer had spread more than the doctors had anticipated, and they had to remove the majority of the lymph nodes, muscle and nerves in Steve’s neck, his carotid vein, and a large portion of Steve’s tongue. The extent of the surgery required that he receive a tracheotomy and feeding tube to recover in the weeks after surgery.
He has had several long weeks recovering from the surgery, having to learn to swallow again, and receiving treatments to help him talk again after the surgery left one of his vocal chords paralyzed. The trach has been removed and Steve has slowly been able to start eating again, however tomorrow he will begin the first of 33 rounds of radiation and chemotherapy.
Steve has been a union carpenter for over 25 years. Both he and his wife are self-employed, and they have 3 school age children. The funds collected will be used to help cover the self-employed medical insurance that the family purchases from the union, as well as the ongoing medical expenses, copays and necessities for Steve not covered by insurance.
Again thank you for your time and any donations, thoughts, prayers and shares
