Tracey and Sean's Circle of Support
Donation protected
When illness strikes our friends and families it's often hard to figure out how to best help and show your love and support. It was no different for me when I heard the news in May that Sean had been diagnosed with cancer. Being a cook, my first inclination was to make food and it was while setting up delivery of chicken soup that Tracy shared the difficulties of their situation.
Cancer treatments can be overwhelming not to mention the mental and financial stresses that come with them. In Tracey and Sean's circumstances, it has literally made them flip roles as best they can. When Sean became ill, Tracey lost her primary caregiver and now plays the role herself for Sean!
Some of the extra financial burdens are easy to anticipate and some are complete surprises. Multiple trips to and from the hospital for chemo and radiation on the TTC is but one of the extra expenses they are up against. Medications required during treatment and others to relieve the side effects are not covered and are out of pocket. Doctors are quite concerned about Sean's loss of weight and would like him to be eating more nutritious food, which again is not easy on a fixed income. Recently, the baby monitor that Tracey uses to hear Sean at night when he may need her, has ceased to work.
The list of "difficulties" is long and that is why I thought to start this Gofundme page. Tracey and Sean have a tough battle to fight in the coming months so if you could help in any way, large or small, it would be greatly appreciated.
Together let's raise $2000 in the next 3 weeks to help them keep focused on the challenges they face.
Thank you.
