Ronn needs your help

Donation protected
Ron is recovering from quintuple bypass surgery and toe surgery. Ron needs to recover from the bypass surgery and toe surgery before he can address his pending relapse of Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He is going to be out of work for quite some time. 

Ron is an extremely hardworking family man and is the primary income provider for his family. He and his wife have also been taking care of Ron’s dad who they the moved into their home to take care of him after being diagnosed with dementia in 2005. After 22 years of medical issues, overwhelming medical bills have taken a financial toll on his family’s finances and Ron can not stay above water anymore with his latest health issues taking its toll on him and his family.  Ron, being the prideful and private guy that he is, never asks for help.... we convinced him to let us start the go fund page on his behalf to help his family. You can see below the tremendous health battles he has been through for over 20 years....amazingly battling through it all. He is an amazing man who has spent his life always helping others. He truly is a special guy, a real class act.  We are friends of his for 47 years of his 52 years and we are hoping to get him some donations to relieve some of the burden and stress he will endure in this lengthy recovery and relapse cancer battle.
