Urgent Aid for Gene's Battle with Cancer

Doação protegida
Dear Friends and family (from Gene Beal):

UPDATE: Gene lost his home in a fire, Thursday, January 10. Gene has lost everything, including his beloved puppy. Gene is okay but is emotionally devastated. We now need more donation to help build his lift back up starting with the basics from clothes, shoes, coats, to meal card and anything in between. Please reach out to me if you would like to donate any physical items. Gene is currently in the hospice home and is trying to secure a new place to live. Thank you all in advance as Gene is battling with terminal cancer.

Gene: " I have been battling brain and lung cancer for 2 years now. I have spent 70 days in the hospital since July 11th. My cancer is stage 4 brain and lung cancer. I had 10 rounds of radiation that did not work. With cancer comes complications. I have cardiovascular disease, an aortic embolism and aortic thrombosis in my legs. I have no sensation in my right foot because of no blood flow. I have low blood supply to my feet and lower legs which is painful. Long story short, the treatments are hurting me so my doctors decided no more chemotherapy or radiation. Nothing else can be done. So hospice was called in several weeks ago and the doctors says I have 6 months or less... I am going to try to prove them wrong. The doctors don't know everything and I am going to try to prove them wrong. Time is short, forgive quickly. "

I am a Southeast Guildford classmate of Gene Beal and I heard about Gene and his health battle over a year or so ago on facebook and I reached out to him at that time. We have kept in touch and I recently learned of Genes latest news. I had to reach out and offer my help and support as I am a social worker and I work with the elderly and disabled for the CAP program. I have been helping him and trying to get him more community support. However, Gene is falling between the cracks because is income puts him over the limit for the CAP medicaid program I work for. So, we are looking at other ways to help. That is where our community of friends and family come in. Now that treatment has stopped and Genes health is starting to decline, Gene is faced with many financial challenges and that is why we have signed up for any help and donations you would be willing to donate. Gene has a very limited and small group in his inner circle. Gene is a father of 2 school age girls and his mother is in a nursing home. So this has left Gene with a few cousins and just a few friends. Gene's circle is not big enough and we need more help, support and prayers. Gene needs help with the expense of breaking his lease, finding a safer environment that is w/c accessible and he needs someone to help him pack and move. Gene also needs help with meals, groceries, house works, companionship, medical expenses, funeral costs and prayers. Gene is currently living in Level Cross, which is an isolated community. Gene only has 2 friends who live close enough by who can assist him at this time.

So, we are asking anyone if they can help with a donation for money and/or time. Gene doesn't qualify for in home care. Hospice will help with a bath only, and Rn and social worker. House works, meals, transportation, w/c ramp and companionship is not provided. It is Gene hope that his friends and family can help him. Gene needs prayers, hugs, cards, visits, words of encouragement and donations. Gene needs help and care from his community to help him during his journey to eternity. He is isolated and needs help for all that can give. We ask you for your love, compassion, strength, love and support during this most difficult time. Gene wants to thank you all in advance. Gene appreciates you all from the bottom of his heart.
