Ron Hodgen's Cancer Fight

As most of you know, my Dad is fighting bladder cancer. He will go through nine weeks of chemotherapy before having his bladder removed at OHSU. We all have a lot of hope and know that he's a tough guy, but besides the emotional distress, the financial burden of this fight will not be easy either.
He loves the job he has had at Horizon the last few years, but will be taking a leave of absence to get through this trying time. The loss of wages for at least the next three months will be a struggle for my parents, and the added expenses will make it even worse.
Please know that every little bit you can give will be greatly appreciated, but your continued prayers, positive thoughts, and words of encouragement are just as important. With love, Dawn
