Hello family and friends, my name is Alice Pardee.  I am here to petition all of you on behalf of my brother Jimmie Pardee.  To merely say your financial help is needed would be an understatement.  The fact of the matter is that we are desperate for your help.  Please allow me to give you some history about my brother and his struggle.  My brother is an AirForce Veteran and is 61 years old, andthe best guy you'll ever meet.  Less than a month ago we learned, after a series of tests, that our worse fear was confirmed; Jimmie was diagnosed with stage 4 Esophageal Cancer.  Jimmie ha been working consistently for 15 years until a week ago when he had to quit his job due to his health.  The VA has provided some support in which we are grateful, but there are so many other expenses that aren't covered.  Unfortunately my brother had no benefits from his job.  We face expenses that are tied to my brother's Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments.  He will need a feeding tube and require 24 hour home health assistance and there are travel expenses, co-payments he faces.  I can go on and on explaining in detail what our family is and will be facing, but the bottom line is WE NEED YOU.  We most definitely need your prayers.  We are believers in CHRIST and we solely depend on him as our ultimate source.  Please help, whatever the gift big or small it ill be greatly appreciated.  On behalf of my brother Jimmie, and those family members close to this situation as well as myself we thank you from the bottom of our hearts..GOD BLESS
