Hrabovecky Education fund for kids

My husband, Ken passed away on Sunday August 13, 2017 at our home surrounded by his family.  He was diagnosed with Chronic  Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) in Blast crisis in July 2016. He was immediately hospitalized for 41 days where he underwent chemotherapy. Ken’s doctors determined that the only chance of survival was through a bone marrow transplant. My daughter, Jessica, was a half match donor, procedure happened on January 4, 2017. However, prior to the transplant Ken suffered several complications that required multiple hospital stays and surgeries.  

On July 20, 2017 we were told his cancer was back 80% blastic and the doctor's said there was nothing else thay can do for him.  He tried an experimental drug and it failed. On August 7, 2017 he started hospice care.

 Ken faced a year of battling his cancer.  He never gave up. He suffered and sacrificed for his family. He is finally at peace now.  It was the hardest day of our lives.

We still have a very long road ahead of us.  Healing,  grieving and trying to make sense of this all.  My heart aches for my children who lost their father.  We have wonderful memories and try to remember all the sacrifices he made for his family and the wonderful memories we shared together.

My daughter Jessica who is 18 starts Rutgers College of engineering in the fall at her father's alma mater.  My son  Andy who is 15 will be a sophomore at Voorhees High School.   We have a new chapter in our lives and it is very scary one.  I am now a single parent and it is not what I had planned. God will be with me as well as my family and friends. I am so lucky for all the support during this past year. I can't thank everyone enough.

Any donations at this point will be going toward my children's education fund. 


God Bless Everyone!
