Frank Crittenden's medical expenses
Donation protected
Frank Crittenden had never even been in the hospital in his 30 years of living in Lytton Springs. Then one day in January, he found himself on a ride to the emergency room after a seizure at the local country store. After extensive testing, Frank and his wife Terrie got the fateful diagnosis of Glioblastoma Multiforme, the most deadly, the most infiltrative, of all brain cancers. He was found to be in Stage IV, the most malignant.
The fight was on. He immediately began rounds of chemo and radiation. They were unsuccessful, and now the doctors have said there is nothing else they can do. Frank has been told that he has four to six months to live on this side of eternity.
His family is not giving up. Terrie says that as long as he is with us, there is hope. After days of searching for survivors of this relentless cancer, she found people who had, indeed, survived against all odds. A supplement called Poly MVA was at the core of their victory over GBM-IV. It is costly, and unfortunately, not covered by insurance.
Frank and Terrie are selling the home they built with their own hands there in Lytton Springs. Frank is unable to maintain the upkeep. They are both very thankful for the generous help from Pegasus Schools and the young men who have taken on the vast amount of yard work. The local community has also pitched in to help these dear folks, with Lytton Springs Baptist Church taking up a generous love offering for them.
Frank cannot be left alone in his current condition, as he is unsteady in his balance and needs 24-7 care. Between family members and friends rotating, they are making sure that Frank is cared for while Terrie still goes to work at 6 a.m. during the week and tries not to stress too much about her husband at home. Terrie herself is a cancer survivor and she knows firsthand the emotional and physical struggle that Frank is going through. Others are pitching in to help with the regular trips to Shivers Cancer Center in Austin or other appointments, which seem to never end.
All focus now is on helping Frank heal with the Poly MVA and reducing expenses wherever possible in order to afford the treatment. Frank, with his ever-cheerful and positive outlook, wants to survive. But he says that he is ready to meet Jesus if this is his time. He and Terrie both know that God is in control. Any funds that are given will be applied to the necessary out-of-pocket expenses for this last hope of treatment.
Thank you all in advance!
