<div>Hi, my name is Stephanie and I’m starting this fundraiser to support my father-in-law, David Blucker who is currently battling cancer. As he focuses on treatment and recovery, medical bills and time away from work have created a heavy financial burden for our family. We are grateful for any support, prayers, or shares during this difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Our family’s world changed when my father-in-law, David was diagnosed with Renal Cell Carcinoma in 2015 when one of his kidneys was removed. He remained in remission for 10 years, praising Jesus! This summer the cancer returned in his L1 vertebra, going through the bone into his spinal cord fracturing his back.   Since then, he has shown incredible strength and determination while undergoing treatment. Unfortunately, the road to healing has required him to step away from work, which has made it challenging to keep up with medical expenses and everyday bills.

</div>

<div>Between doctor visits, treatments, medications, and recovery time, the costs have quickly added up. While David is doing everything he can to fight this illness, the financial stress has become overwhelming for him and our family.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are raising funds to help cover medical bills, treatment-related expenses, and basic living costs while he is unable to work. Every donation—no matter the size—will go directly toward easing this burden so he can focus on what truly matters: his health and healing.

<div>If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand and would be incredibly thankful if you could share this page or keep our family in your thoughts and prayers. Your kindness, support, and generosity mean more to us than words can express.

</div>

</div>

<div>Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for standing with us during this challenging time.

<div>Love,

Standing with David Through His Cancer Fight

<font color="#333333">On August 4, the Cloninger family’s home caught fire during the day while the family was away from the house. Thankfully, all five members of the household are safe, but they lost several pets, including two service dogs, a pet lizard, and their cats. They will not be able to return to their home, as it is a total loss, along with all of their possessions. The cause of the fire is unknown. <br /><br />As friends and colleagues of the Cloningers, we hope to help them on their journey towards recovery. Donations of any size make a difference when a family has lost everything. We also want to send them our words of encouragement, thoughts, and prayers, so please consider leaving a comment, even if donating anonymously. <br /><br />We are so grateful that none of the human family members were injured in the fire, but our hearts are heavy with the loss of their precious animal family members. Our hearts are with them now as they cope with so much loss. Thank you for supporting the Cloninger family by whatever means you are able. <br /><br />*Thank you to the Runyan Acres, Gravel Ridge and Sherwood Fire Departments for your swift action to put out the flames and for saving the lives of the rest of the family’s dogs. </font>

Cloninger Family Home Fire Recovery

<p>My daughter is Chelsea Ciani and is 26 years old. She was expecting her first baby. Sunday April 11th she had to go to the ER. They discovered that the baby had no heartbeat and they had to induce labor. She delivered on Monday April 12th. Chelsea is very sick and was diagnosed with Acute Leukemia, she will be in the hospital for 4-6 weeks of chemotherapy. On top of the funeral expenses for the baby they are facing astronomical hospital bills. Chelsea’s husband Ben is staying at the hospital with her as well for the entire time. Please help me help them. They are not the type of people to ask for help, so I am asking for them. They need to focus on Chelsea without having to worry about money.

<p>Thank you in advance. Please share this so we can reach as many people as possible.
