Safety Net for the Steve and Alison Graham Family
Donation protected
As friends of Ali and Steve Graham we are creating a Go-Fund-Me page to help them through this difficult time in their life. Steve has been diagnosed with clinical stage 4 esophogeal andencarcinoma (cancer).
The large size and the position of the tumor up against Steve's heart and aorta make it very difficult to treat. Several lymph nodes are also affected which further complicates things. Steve has been taking the most aggressive chemotherapy possible since May. Having recently learned that the chemotherapy was not successful, Steve's doctors have added an aggressive daily radiation treatment to his bi-weekly chemotherapy regimen beginning July 29th. The fight will become much harder at that time. It is important for Ali to be home for an extended and undetermined period of time in order to get Steve to his appointments, provide for his care and support as well as be available to provide stability and support for their family of 5 children; 2 grown daughters and 3 boys who are still at home. Working outside of the home during this time will be overwhelming. To lessen the stress for Ali and the family a Go-Fund-Me page has been set up to cover the cost of the lost income, medical benefits during her leave, and ongoing expenses related to Steve's care both locally in Naples and in Tampa at the Moffitt Cancer Center. The goal is to raise $30,000 to help support them during this difficult time.
