Our family needs your help
Donation protected
It has been a gut wrenching three months since our father, Leonard Boutilier, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Metastatic Lung Cancer, and we could really use your help.
Just weeks before Christmas, we received the devastating news that our father was to prepare for the fight of his life. The diagnosis came fairly late, as we thought our father's symptoms were that of a non-life threatening illness and neither one of our parents had a family doctor at the time. Once symptoms progressed, and our father was seen by a physician, x-rays were ordered that ultimately lead to his diagnosis with lung cancer. Shortly thereafter, our Dad, a loving husband, father, and grandfather of 10 beautiful grandchildren, was scheduled to undergo aggressive treatment to help prolong his life. The doctors ordered both chemotherapy and radiation to try and combat the cancer, but before he could start treatment, we learned the cancer had metastasized to his bones and other major organs.
Now, because of the advanced stage of the cancer, the treatment options for Len are limited. He is too weak for chemotherapy, has undergone 5 rounds of radiation, and has been given a very short time to enjoy the rest of his days with his family.
The goal of this fundraiser is to try to raise enough money to offset the family's lack of income during this trying time. Our mother and father are sub-contractors whom have always worked together, and since our father's diagnosis, both of them have been unable to work. Our mother has been by our father's side to care for him, and without any assistance, both of them are in need of support to cover living expenses.
We would appreciate any help you may be able to provide.
Thank you,
The Boutilier Family
