To Help Tim and Bert through this TOUGH time!!

Hello Family and Friends,We are writing this on behalf of Randy's younger brother, Timothy Boyd. A little over a year ago, Tim was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate cancer. He already had metastasis to his cervical and lumbar spine and right femur. He has been undergoing treatment at The OSU Cancer Center since then. Just this Spring, they discovered another lesion in his spine at T-10. Throughout all his treatments, his faith has grown and become stronger; he continued to work full-time at his construction job even through all the pain he is dealing with. He just completed 8 radiation treatments in a week and kept working. Doing this to keep all his bills paid and to care for his lovely wife, Roberta (Bert) of 43 years, who just before his diagnosis went through her cancer journey. During this time, they have never asked for any assistance. However, now is the time for all of His, Bert's, and the family and their friends to assist them if possible.

Last Sunday, July 20th, Tim (aka Paco) was with his granddaughter Penelope and suffered a motor scooter accident to avoid running into her and hurting her ahead of him. "Paco" flew over the handlebars and wrecked. He gashed his head, bumped, bruised, and scraped up his limbs, and broke his femur. Tim underwent surgery called Open Reduction Internal Fixation or ORIF, metal fasteners inserted to hold the pieces of his femur together as they heal. The cancer lesion was luckily below the break. He has been inpatient since the accident, and now on Monday, 7/28, he will be transferred to Dodd Hall rehab for 7-10 days. Depending on how quickly he heals up and rehabs will determine when and if he can return to work. With his determination, we are pretty sure he will attempt to return to work if he is able to.

So our ask is to please help Tim and Bert during this difficult time with as many prayers as you can pray and then with a financial donation if you are able to help them meet their medical and living expenses as Tim heals. 

Thank you all! 

Randy and Rebecca Sue (Susie or Becky) Boyd
