Please help Gary Kaitanowskis battle with cancer

Donation protected
One month ago my best friends father, Gary Kaitanowski had a stroke and was taken to Mercy hospital where they incidentally found out he had cancer. At first they weren't sure the extent but since then they have found out he has stage 4 lung and upper GI cancer..its aggressive and has spread throughout his body, it's in his lungs, pancreas, kidney, liver, spine, bone and lymph nodes. They were told the other day that his cancer is terminal and he only has a couple of months. The whole family is devastated, as am I, for them. My heart breaks for them. I wanted to do anything I can to help, as I'm sure you do too.  I am starting a gofundme to help raise money for his medical bills and any other expenses that may come from this impossibly difficult time in their lives. He is already having trouble walking and is going to be having radiation in attempt to shrink a tumor on his spine that keeps growing to help prevent him from being paralyzed.  I cant imagine how hard it must be to have to go through what they are dealing with right now. He will need to go back and forth for radiation and drs visits. I want to make sure that his family can be there with him, and for him during his hospital stays and appointments.  In order to do this they will need to take time off of work. I'm also hoping some of the money that is given can be used for them to take some time off to spend time with their husband/father and make some memories that will last forever and give them some time to cope with this.  Gary is an amazing ,funny and loving husband and father.  He always finds a way to make you laugh and he doesnt deserve to be going through this. Please say some prayers for strength for the whole family. They really need it right now. His wife Karen Kaitanowski, and his daughters Lindsey Kaitanowski and Kelsey Kaitanowski deserve to spend as much time with him as they can. If you are able to please donate to help them and Gary through this devastating journey with cancer. Every little bit counts. If you are unable to donate, please share this post. The money will be going directly into the family's bank account. I know some people are hesitant to donate if they are unsure where the money is going. Please speak with the family if you have any reservations.  Myself and their family thank you so much for all you are doing to help them at this unbelievably devastating time.  ❤
