"A crazy thing happened to me on the way to the theatre"...I know it sounds like the start of a great joke, but the punch line I recieved was a diagnosis for prostate cancer. Not so funny as it turns out. Tim's doctor and everyone we have talked to about this agree that a removal is the best way to proceed.
Our insurance will cover 80% of the costs after our $2500 deducatble but coming up with the out of pocket is proving to be a challenge without assitance. In addition to the costs, Tim will be out of work for 6 to 8 weeks which will put a serious hardship on our ability to pay our day to day living expenses.
For those that have helped and those that do help, thank you so much. Any funds left over will be passed along to a well deserving and much in need cancer fighter.
About Tim:
For those of you who know him, you know him to be a goofy and always smiling spirited and talented man. He loves to make people laugh, especially the children. He is an amazing artist who has entertained millions of people in his lifetime with his balloon art. He is there when he is needed and often will pull over to help a total stanger in time of need. People recognise him where ever we go because he has touched so many peoples lives. He is a loving husband, father, son and brother. He has so much more to give.
He is strong. He will beat this. But the help and prayers of others would be a great benefit and would provide a little peace of mind in a dark and scary time. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for you help and for your prayers. Please feel free to share this post.
