Crime Reporter In Trouble

I'm not in the type of trouble you might have been expecting, as  I've always remained a law-abiding citizen!
During my four decades as a crime reporter, which began in 1986 at the  former Greenwich News prior to goig to work for Greenwich Time in 1989, I had always tried my best to use stories as means for finding help for struggling people to cope financiallly, from affording burials for their children, publicizing accounts to which folks could contribute in order to help families weather the financial difficulties thrust unexpectedly upon them by violent crime, the grievous loss of home and property and any required healthcare, from accidents and other medical emergencies.
In recent years I've used Go Fund Me accounts as an incredible way to get people the help they need, most recently helping a family raise reward money as they ytr helping the police find their their brother's murderer.
I never expected that I would one day be asking for financial assistance for myself and family.
I was recently found to have a brain tumor which has sidelined me indefinitely from helping my wife support our family. After having a brain biopsy I spent weeks in an inpatient rehabilitation program where they helped me t regain use of much of my body so that I may and once again become a productive member of society and half the bread-winnner for the family.
As a journalist, I already was in a declining profession in which there were significant salary reductions  and the elimination of overtime pay. That, coupled with every one of my family needing surgery or other medical prucedure in 2008 -- the onset of  the Great Recession -- left us in an extremely untenable situation.
Even after determining what type of tumor I have, the doctors still will need to decide what type of treatment I'll need and for how long, When answers to such questions are known we will have a better understanding of potential ongoing future costs for the treatment.
IWhen treatments do begin I will be working fewer than 40 hours a week because of time spent in treatment, further squeezing the income stream.
We love our home and I hope to still be there when my daughter graduates from high school in 6 short years
I told a longer story than I had intended, but the bottom line is my family needs serious financial help and wweould appreciate whatever amount anyone might be inclined to contribute.
Thank you, Joe, Dawn, Abigail and Andrew Johnson.
