Miracles for Matthew
Donation protected
Matthew Lane is a sophomore student athlete at Etowah High School. He is a stellar student with good grades. Matthew plays basketball on both the JV and Varsity basketball teams. In late 2016, Matthew was diagnosed with bone cancer in his jaw. He will have surgery at Children’s Healthcare Thursday, January 12th. He is expected to be in the hospital for 10 days, and faces a long recovery period; at least 6 months as they have to take bone from his leg to reconstruct his jaw.
Matthew has a strong faith and is an incredible young man. He loves his family and does all he can to live his life in a responsible and Christian way. He does not ask for anything; as a matter of fact, he wanted to keep things as normal as possible up to the time of his surgery. He truly believes God is with him and he will be back to his old self in no time.
As you can imagine, the cost is very expensive--the surgery, the trips to the hospital, the repeated trips to the doctors and physical therapy during recovery. His family does the best they can, but even with insurance, the out of pocket costs are staggering. We want to help the family offset these costs by creating this Go Fund Me page. Etowah High School has a very close knit basketball family, and there are a lot of supporters in the community. Now is the time for us to rally and help Matthew and his family. Please donate; his family can use the funds as soon after the surgery as possible but definitely during the recovery period which will be several months. We want to reach our goal by the end of March if possible, so please give what you can. Tell others about Matthew and ask them to help also. Feel free to share on Facebook and other social media!
The need for funds to offset costs is the major need, but if you cannot donate funds, there are other ways to help—babysitting or cooking a meal for example. If you can help in one of these other ways please send an email to [email redacted] . We truly appreciate anything you can do to help bless this family during this very difficult time. Thank you!
