The McLaughlin Family Needs Your Help and Support
Donation protected
The lives of Paul, Judi, Joshua, and Marigrace McLaughlin have been forever changed. On the morning of November 4th, an intense headache prompted Paul to visit the ER. While waiting for a bed, his condition deteriorated, and he was rushed into emergency surgery to relieve cranial pressure. For over a week, he was in and out of the ICU due to swelling on the brain caused by multiple brain tumors. On November 14th, pathology delivered the devastating diagnosis: Stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive form of astrocytoma.
In this sudden and tragic turn of events, the McLaughlin family will need your help and support now more than ever. Paul’s employment is the family’s main source of income. As they embark on their journey to make the most of the precious time that Paul has left, they will undoubtedly experience tremendous financial strain:
- Reduction/loss of wages and benefits
- Medical bills and equipment
- Caregiving costs
- Moving Marigrace back home
- Supplement Joshua’s living expenses while he is on FMLA
- Travel expenses for doctor visits and treatments
- Everyday living
Although no amount of money will ease the shock of Paul’s diagnosis, alleviating some or all of their upcoming financial burden will help them focus on what is important: spending time as a family.
