Help with Jon Johnson’s Medical bills

Donation protected

Jon was custom combining down South started in Oklahoma then came home for a few days then back to Nebraska. During his time in Nebraska he started getting headaches that turned into dizziness to where he had to sit up slowly and gather his bearings. 
He started becoming unbalanced and stumbling. Father’s Day he and his friend Virgil went to go have a steak and thats when he noticed facial numbness and his taste wasn’t there. 
He would facetime me and sound horrible, tired , tell me about his numbness so we though mini stroke? 
On his way home from Nebraska they had to shut down find hotels in Oaks ND thats when he called me , looked and sounded horrible and all I kept telling him was GO TO THE ER. He said he wanted to sleep.  The next day he called his mom, sister and Bill to come get him, one drove his truck back and the other straight to the ER
To make a long story SHORT Jon is being diagnosed with a brain cancer called a GLIOMA , he had a brain biopsy  Wednesday the 13th and Dr. Burns said it looks like a GLIOMA  an inoperable cancer that requires chemo and radiation to SHRINK it. Its near his brain stem so if it was operated on he could lose a lot of functionality in his body or possible death. 
As of now we are waiting on the “official “ biopsy report to see if blastoma will be added to  the name, we DONOT want to hear GLIOBLASTOMA.  The rate of life expectancy is pretty  LOW 1 year or less.
Now its a waiting game of will the dizziness subside?  What will his genes tell us as far as what weakness does his cancer have so we can fight it.  He feels ok but the dizziness makes him feel terrible  and it’s annoying to him. 
We are getting ready to go to Rochester Mayo September 4th for 3 appointments and one to get his mesh mask molded to his head THEN we will start chemo and radiation the following week. 
We own our own custom combining  business and were told Jon cannot combine the rest of the summer. 
I hate to ask for help but with only my income we cannot pay the Dr.s who are  trying to prolong Jons life so he can be here for his 11 year old daughter who means THE WORLD to him, me and his family for however long god sees fit. Its so upsetting, to see him go through all this  its like a nightmare I cannot wake up from.
We appreciate ANY help and support   you can give us.  Your donation is GENUINELY APPRECIATED.
