Jim Krecko medical expenses
Donation protected
As you all know my Pop, James Krecko, was diagnosed with liver cancer in April 2014 which has spread to his lymph nodes. He has gone through radiation and chemotherapy treatments including 22 aggressive treatments only to discover that there is nothing more that they can do for Pop. During all of this, my Pop has fallen and hurt his hip, landing him in a rehab. Thankfully, after finally convincing the stubborn man to come back home with us to Philly he did, hoping to be able to get a 2nd opinion and better treatments here. While here, he has been treated for the infections in his legs which resulted in them sending him for an ultrasound which revealed a blood clot close to his heart. He is now required to have blood work weekly and a needle daily. The needles cost almost $250 per week which on a fixed income and his insurance not covering is a burden to my Pop. My mom and step dad have gone above and beyond for him, taking time off from work traveling to Florida when needed and finally were able to convince him to come back up to Philadelphia but the medical expenses are taking a toll on everybody's finances. Due to his fall, he was having a hard time with his moblilty which required a special lift chair that enables him to get up and down while allowing him to feel independent. My mom and step dad purchased the chair for him which cost $1000. The medical expenses are really starting to take a toll and they can really use some help. If you can find it in your heart to help out everyones favorite big guy we would really appreciate it. If his bank account was as big as his heart, we wouldn't need this page. I would just like to thank you all in advance, as I know my mom, step dad and my pop would thank you all greatly as well!
