Robert Otte cancer and home fund

Donation protected
Robert is only 60 years old to start ff with and in October of 2017 he was diagnosed with Sycaoma stage four inoperable lung cancer. This was a devastation because he never felt any symptoms. He was always working 40 plus hours a week and always picking up on overtime. Even the day of his first test results he returned back to work. When he wasn' at work he was always working on his Harly Davidson or doing yard work. He loves spending time with his four grandchildren whom which he did every thing for. For example he hooked a wagon to back of his tracker just so they could drive around too. He loves building things with his hands, he built his two granddaughter a three story doll house that he built and painted by hand. He also built a large two story barn with stalls and any farm animal you could think of also by hand. This cancer really had grabbed ahold of Robert and came on fast. Now all of the things that Robert use to love to do he can,t. Just a small walk to sit outide is all the enjoyment he gets and spending time with his amazing wife and family. Robert hasn' been able to work since he got the diagnosis because his doctor gave him a life expectancy to only live one short year. To hear that you might have a year to live at the age of sixty was really devastating. Now maybe death was not what was on Roberts mind a lot before he got his diagnosis but who really does. Since he has lost his insurance with his work he triex to be put on Medicaid and has been going back and forth with them and his work, and with his life insurance company for a no th now. During this time he has used money from his only income a disability check he only gets once a month. Since he has had to pay for his medical cost and medication hes got little behind on bills and living cost. We now though have no money put back for when the day does come and Robert will be gone forever. We want to use the little money we have so we can keep Robert comfortable. Please anything will help most importantly we want to be able to give Robert a great burial and funeral. He would be the first to help out anyone,and would think twice about. Alot of people who know him will tell u same thing
