Hi! This is Meredith, Emily's sister. The past few years have been a long hard struggle for Paul and Emily. As many of you know, Paul was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer in August of 2023.
He has continued to fight with everything he has through radiation and multiple rounds of chemotherapy. During this time, Emily and the kids have been by his side. Paul has recently been unable to work and unable to care for himself. He continues to decline and the plan is to put him on hospice soon. He has been in and out of the hospital which has taken a toll on them both emotionally and financially.
With the continuation of everyday bills coupled with insurance co-pays and out of pocket expenses like parking, transportation, and food expenses, finances are tight.
Paul and Emily are always there for others and would never ask for help themselves so I am reaching out on their behalf.
Please do not feel obligated to donate but if you are able to do so, just know that every penny counts. I would love for them to be able to spend this time together without the added stress of how to meet their financial needs.
Thank you for considering a donation!
With love, Meredith
