Turgeon Family - Medical Bills
Donation protected
Just a close family friend here that wants to do her part to alleviate the burden of this amazing family since I can't be there on the ground helping and supporting!
Bill and Jill are both career teachers and serve diligently in the community. Bill is such a kind and selfless man who would do anything for anyone. His love for his family and his students is unmatched. I know he is beloved by all!
Here is what I know:
*A few weeks ago around October 19th, Bill was diagnosed with Stage IV Colon Cancer. He had his first round of chemo on Tuesday, November 6th and is having a really hard time with it; experiencing every side affect imaginable. His first full round of chemo will be done by Christmas. He will have to go through surgeries as well throughout this process.
UPDATE 1: Bill is still going through his chemo and really having a hard time with it. He has had to have a few additional, unplanned hospital visits due to dehydration and struggling to keep food down. He is strong though and getting through this the best he can!
They have also decided to visit a cancer facility in Texas that is one of the best in the country for Bill's type and situation. Once they take him on as a full patient there, they will have to deal with many flights back and forth.
This will all just continue the influx of bills and now the added cost of flights. Lets keep this train rolling and let them know just how much we care! We don't want them to have to worry about the bills/costs. Lets allow them the time to be together and just focus on getting better! <3
As you can imagine, there is no good time to go through anything like this but especially with it being the holiday season it is hitting even harder. The medical expenses for all the treatments and for other family members that may require assistance to get through this will just be overbearing. This is going to be a long and daunting road for them. I can assure you that anything you can give will be much appreciated by this family.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU HAVE SHOWN SO FAR!!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND SHARE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN! THANK YOU!
*I will update the details/story as I get them and as the process progresses
