Support Paul Berning's Fight Against Cancer

Hi, my name is Vickie Franck. With permission from Paul Berning, I am setting up a Go Fund Me account for Paul and his family. Any monies from this account will go directly to Paul and Karen to meet current and future needs of their family. Paul’s friends and family know what an amazing husband, father, friend and nurse he is. Paul has served our patients and community for over 35 years touching countless lives. Many of us have had the blessing and privilege to work with Paul for many years or know him through church, or their sons’ activities. He is a caring, kind, genuine, gentle servant of God whether it is caring for patients in the hospital, serving at his church or providing for his family. It is our turn to care for Paul and his family as they traverse this difficult journey. Most of his friends and family know that a few weeks ago, Paul’s wife Karen took Paul to the emergency room due to vomiting and stomach pain. After a few tests and a few days in the hospital, it was confirmed that Paul has stage IV colon cancer with metastasis to his liver and lymph system. This unexpected news turned their world upside down. The extensiveness of the cancer has prevented resection of the tumor at this time. Paul will begin his chemotherapy journey in a few weeks with hopes to reduce and eradicate the cancer. This will be a challenging journey for Paul, Karen and their two sons. Please consider contributing to this Go Fund me effort to minimize the financial stresses that come with a catastrophic diagnosis. In addition, please lift Paul, Karen and their boys up in continuous prayer. God is faithful. His Word and love is their strength. Isaiah 41:10 “Fear not for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand”. Thank you for considering donating to Paul and his family.
