Uncle Rico Fights for his LIFE (cancer sucks!)

Donation protected

(Niece, Ashley Kohler making this for my Uncle Rick and Aunt Pam, even though they would never ask for help, so I am doing it for them. My mom and I will be managing the donations and send updates on how funds will be used once the surgery date is decided in the next 1-2 weeks❤️)

Within the last month, my Uncle “Rico” Richard Kieft, has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Tongue Cancer. He is in for the fight of his life. My Aunt Pam has recently started a new job where she has no sick/personal time left, after using it all for prior appointments. He is set to have a minimum of a 12 hour surgery, and reconstruction to save his life, on top of numerous other procedures and possible treatments to remove and protect him in the future. This is a long road...

This is all happening so fast.  I love my family and I do not want them to have to worry about ALL the crazy medical expenses, transportation back and forth from Indy,  hotel stays, expensive liquid supplements he must eat as his sole food, as eating solids is not an option at this point, helping cover bills so my aunt can be there for her husband and my uncle... the list goes on and on, 

I always see these GoFundMe pages and think ”How Sad!!, I wish nothing like this ever happened to my family”....well, reality has hit... my family needs your help! 

There is no minimum or maximum, anything will
help my aunt and uncle during this fight for his life. 

Surgery is in 1-2.5 weeks.....PLEASE help us! 


if you wish to donate, not on here, please send me an email: [email redacted] and I can send you info on other ways to donate!!!
