Rachel & Tighe Howden

On 12/1/23 Tighe Howden, went to the ER with upper belly pain, unable to keep food down. After almost two weeks, and every type of test, the doctors have confirmed he has a duodenal ulcer, causing the duct to close completely to his stomach. Upon further testing they found cancer. Tighe will be having a very complicated surgery on Tuesday, December 19th. The doctors hope to have a fuller scope of the cancer and next steps for further treatments.

This was not the Christmas that Tighe, Rachel and the boys were planning for, but we know that God is carrying them through this time. I am creating this go fund me page at the request of family members who want to help them. So "many" unknowns in their future. Rachel has not even begun to look at what their limited insurance plan will cover but she knows she will not deny any opportunity to help her husband. Unfortunately "cancer" is not an unfamiliar word in Tighe and Rachel's life, since they both have lost their moms to this disease. Please share, pray and if you feel lead to support them. Thank you.
