Support Jeff's Brain Surgery Journey

Hi, my name is Jeff and I am trying to raise $20,000 to help pay for out of pocket costs and expenses for my 4th brain surgery.  Colleagues and those close to me know my struggle with this.  It all started back in 2011 when my doctor found a golf ball sized tumor due to me losing my sight. After 2 years of chemo drugs they told me they would have to remove it because it was wrapped around my carotid artery.  My 1st surgery was in 2013, I elected to have the Transphenoidal surgery in lieu of them taking the top of my skull off.  This would allow one surgeon to remove bone behind my nose and the tumor to be accessed and removed piece by piece through the nostrils.  I remained on chemo drugs for another 4 years when I started losing my sight again and needed another surgery.  This time they did the 2nd surgery and didn’t get enough of the tumor and had to go back in two weeks later for the 3rd surgery.  Now here I am still kicking somehow.  My wife researched to find the best in Dr Richard Newman, who is a nose specialist and removed the bone and Dr John YK Lee who removed the tumor, both from Philadelphia.  Thank you for reading my story.  Your donation will help with out of pocket costs and expenses so that my wife and 4 kids can be with me during recovery.  Anything at all will help and will be greatly appreciated.  God Bless.
