Help Joe and his wife Sheila

Donation protected
My name is Melanie Shannahan and I am Joseph Patrick Savage is my brother-in-law, his wife Sheila is my sister. I feel compelled to tell Joes story and help him and Sheila in any way I can.

Joe is hard working and has always been the main support for his family. We noticed 3 weeks ago that Joe was having some memory issue and he is losing weight at a very fast pace. he was taken to the Dr. 2 weeks ago and they ran blood test that indicated something was terribly wrong. He was admitted to the hospital at the end of last week. During test this week we were told Joe has Squamous cell carcinoma lung cancer that has metastasized to his liver. We found out today it is in Stage 4. There's still so much unknown. Joe had not gotten health insurance as he just started is own business a few months ago. He was denied Medicare. Joe and Sheila need help with Dr bills, treatments, meds, and since Sheila is going to care for him she will not be able to work. So they will need help with house bills,
There is no value to place on what this would mean to Joe and Sheila. I cannot in any way know how to Thank You in advance for even the smallest gift and being a part of his journey. Please pray for peace and healing for Joe as he battle this. Thank you so much.
