The picture is of me, Jeff Points, and my best friend Bailey Jo. On January 12 of 2015 I was diagnosed with a pineal region brain tumor. On April 10, 2015 it was determined that the tumor is malignant/cancer. The pineal region controls much of my vision and balance and is in a very deep and fragile location of the brain As of March 3, I have been unable to work, as my balance, vision and dexterity have started diminishing. It seems as though I will be soon undergoing treatment and strugggling physically, emotionally and financially. With the help of friends, family and Bailey Jo (the greatest dog on earth) I can handle most of what this throws me. Unfortunately financially things are becoming very dire. I don't have a wife or kids that are going to go homeless and hungry, I don't have a tear jerker story of woe is me, I am just Jeff a guy trying to get through this life by doing the best that I can. With no diagnosis, work paid insurance soon to expire and medical bills rapidly mounting, I will soon be in a insurmountable hole. Due to my circumstances, private and government programs are unable to intervene and help at this time, I guess waiting until I am terminal, homeless or both. I have not always been the perfect son, brother, friend, lover, etc. but I have always tried to be there for someone in need, or to give and do what I can for this world. I pride myself on being stubborn, a little obstinate and wholly self sufficient, but this situation has given me a lot more than I can handle. Please share my story, and help with what you can.
