My name is Laurie. My husband Keith & I got together 32 years ago. We had a brief separation, but remarried 21 years ago. He was just recently diagnosed with CANCER.
Now, we have always tried to pay our own way, right up until I became disabled. I worked 10 years as a home health worker until I blew out the bottom discs in my back. That led to the first of four back surgeries. I have since had two heart attacks, a minor stroke, and surgeries on both knees.
He retired two years ago. Last June, he had a second heart attack. This one did a lot of damage. His heart function is 30%.
Recently, he was diagnosed with CANCER. Our car is not street legal. Repair costs are beyond what we can do.
Now we are facing chemo and radiation 5 days a week for 6 weeks. The only transport we have is his sister, who is also disabled. This involves her driving 20 miles to get us, 20 miles to the treatments, 20 miles to take us home, and 20 miles to get herself home. We cannot keep this up for 6 weeks.
We have always tried to make our own way, but now we need help. Please consider helping us, just this one time…
