Support Shane "Bear" Nehring as he Kicks Cancer's A$$

Hello everyone,

My name is Heather Cook and I’m reaching out on behalf of my brother, Shane Nehring. Shane is not just a patient; he’s a son, a brother, and a friend. At thirty-seven years old, he embodies kindness, resilience, and unwavering love for others.

Recently, Shane went to the emergency room with a fever and chest pain. The diagnosis was devastating: he tested positive for COVID-19. But that was just the beginning of his ordeal. As he struggled to breathe, an X-ray revealed a mass of pus on his lung. His lung collapsed, and he had to be airlifted to CHI St. Alexius in Bismarck, ND.

Despite their best efforts, the medical team couldn’t drain the fluid from his lungs using tubes. An emergency surgery was the only option. When they opened up his chest, they discovered not one, but three cancerous masses. Shane’s journey has taken an unexpected turn, and he’s now facing both COVID-19 and cancer simultaneously.

Why We Need Your Support: Shane’s medical bills are mounting rapidly. The cost of emergency transportation, surgeries, and ongoing treatments is overwhelming. Additionally, he’ll need specialized care during his recovery, which may take weeks or even months. But here’s the thing about Shane: he’s the type of person who will give someone the shirt off his back. Now it’s our turn to rally around him.
