Help Bones fight Amyloidosis

Bones is facing another cancer challenge
We are headed to The Mayo Clinic in Minnesota for 6-8 weeks because his Amyloidosis (rare blood cancer) is back. We were successful in 2004 and that procedure bought Bones almost 13 years. In that time, he's been a loving father and husband - more than anyone could ask for. The greatest joy I've experienced is watching Bones and Zola (soon to be 14 yrs) form a bond like - well, like nothing I've ever seen, or could even dream of.
If you haven't been keeping score- and who wants to, right? - Bones has been juggling lung cancer, a rare eye cancer, and recurring melanoma skin cancer. Shitty, and still he's got his sweet smile and gentle way that you remember him for. Now, with the return of this rare blood disease, we need to raise money for a lifesaving bone marrow transplant. The Mayo Clinic is the top place in the nation for dealing with Amyloidosis.
Luckily, my job has graciously allowed me take leave from work and accompany him to Minnesota. I promise to send each of you a "Glad you're not here!" vacation postcard from the Gift of Life Transplant House. Ahh, Minnesota in the Spring (avg. temp.43 degrees) - sucks, but this is where lives are saved, and this is where we're headed.
Now, I need to ask for your help. The Mayo Clinic is out-of-network (of course) and we just don't have the savings stashed to cover all the costs.
I will be taking a leave from work to help care for Bones in Minnesota; it's estimated to be 6-8 weeks. Zola will stay in Portland and continue with school.
Any amount you can donate is welcome - nothing is too small and everything helps!! You can donate anonymously if you like.
PLEASE SHARE THIS PLEA FOR FUNDING!
I'm not ashamed to say i don't have the money to save my husband's life.
