Lee Single's family is asking for help. Lee is a hardworking husband and father who is facing the fight of his life. Lee was diagnosed with Leukemia on Friday, July 31, and will be undergoing inpatient treatment at Duke hospital for the next month. After that, he will continue with intense outpatient treatment for the foreseeable future. As Lee focuses on treatment and recovery, he will soon run out of paid leave and will be unable to work or provide financial support for his family for at least the next 6 months. Lee and his wife, Jess, are caring for their 2-year-old daughter, Isla, and preparing to welcome their baby boy, Finn, who is due on September 4th.

This sudden diagnosis has placed an enormous emotional and financial burden on their family. The funds raised will help cover medical expenses, food, mortgage payments, and the travel and lodging costs for Jess and Isla to visit Lee at Duke, which is 3 hours from home. Support will also help Jess extend her FMLA leave after Finn is born, so she can stay home with their newborn instead of being forced to return to work too soon. Any support you can give will help Lee, Jess, Isla, and Finn through this incredibly difficult time. Your generosity, prayers, and encouragement will make a real difference for their family as they face the months ahead.
