Support Brian's Major Surgery and Recovery

Brian Sample, Will’s best friend for 20+ years, went to the ER and they found a mass in his small intestine. After going in and doing a biopsy of the mass, it was found that the mass is much larger than expected and is blocking 3/4 of the opening of his duodenum. This is a concern because if it continues to grow, it will cause a complete obstruction. He was referred to UAB oncology due to the size, rigidity of the mass, and its odd placement. Dr. Berry in Columbus, along with a few other doctors and radiologists, have reviewed the case. They met with Brian and Carrington and he told Brian they want to do a small bowel resection. This will be a major surgery requiring at least one night in ICU and a minimum of 4-5 night hospitalization. They plan to remove the mass and parts of the small bowel on each side where he has some enlarged (reactive) lymph nodes.

Carrington is now the only income as Brian has a 100% commission-based career. They will keep his position but he is not paid for any days he isn’t producing jobs. They have her mom living there, Emsley (4-year-old daughter), and missed paychecks that will accumulate to almost three months. They will have a large amount of medical expenses along with travel and day-to-day living expenses. Our goal is to help alleviate some of the stress this family is under by helping raise money to cover these expenses.

Thank you in advance for all the love and support I know you will pour into this family.
