Hi everyone,
We’re reaching out to ask for support for someone incredibly special to us—our dad, Jim—who is currently in the toughest battle of his life. Recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, he’s not only been fighting cancer but has also endured a series of heartbreaking setbacks.
While in the hospital receiving treatment, he developed three different types of pneumonia. These serious infections left him extremely weak and kept him hospitalized for six long, exhausting weeks.
Just days after finally making it home, our dad suffered a seizure, which sent him right back to the hospital. That’s when we learned he had suffered a brain bleed during his initial stay, and another from the seizure and fall. It’s been one challenge after another, and through every setback, he’s kept fighting—but now, he really needs our help.
Because of the nature of his work—and how fragile his immune system is—going back to work just isn’t safe right now. He’s self-employed, and even a small exposure to germs could lead to another life-threatening infection.
The financial burden has been overwhelming. Between mounting hospital bills, medications, ongoing treatments, and day-to-day expenses, he’s stretched thin.
We’re asking for your support so our dad can focus on what matters most: healing. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward:
• Medical bills and cancer treatment
• Recovery-related expenses
• Utilities and basic living costs while he’s unable to work
Anything given above what he needs will be donated to Shriners Hospitals for Children—a cause that he has been donating to for years.
If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this with others. Every share, every prayer, every kind word means the world to us.
Thank you so much for your love and support.
With gratitude,
Angie, Liz, Becky, and Melanie
(On behalf of our dad, Jim)
