Gail and Alonzo's Cancer Fund

Donation protected
My name is Jason Colaco and we are raising money for Gail Palmer-Grant's breast cancer treatment. These donations will be used to pay doctor bills, child care, and pharmaceutical expenses.  

After spending many wonderful years in Bedford, Pennsylvania, Gail and Alonzo recently moved to Miami, Florida so that their two sons Alijah (3) and Alonzo Jr (4) could be closer to family.  Since both are healthcare professionals they intended to provide medical services in some of the more under privileged parts of Miami.  

Shortly after arriving in Florida, Gail discovered a lump in her breast, which was diagnosed as cancer.   Aggressive surgery was conducted, along with chemotherapy and radiation.   Initially the prognosis was great, and we all thought that she was in remission working towards a full recovery.    Unfortunately the cancer has come back, spreading aggressively  to her lungs, liver and brain.   She now has Stage 4 cancer and unfortunately is too weak to handle the classic western treatments of chemotherapy and radiation.   So we are following integrative medicine regiments, which unfortunately by and large aren't covered by insurance.  

Gail obviously can’t work and Alonzo needs to limit his work so that he can help care for Gail.  Unexpected childcare and nursing expenses are also mounting.   Needless to say, their life savings are dwindling quickly.

Gail is the nicest and most selfless person I know, she is a warrior and she is going to beat this.  Any donation will be incredibly helpful and appreciated.  First and foremost we please ask that you keep Gail, Alonzo and their two young sons in your prayers as they travel through this difficult journey.   We truly appreciate anything you can do to help this wonderful family.
