Help Ken w/ Cancer treatments and travel to MI

Please help with Ken Thompson’s cancer treatments, and transportation back home to Michigan to be with his family. Roughly two months ago Ken began having problems swallowing. Shortly thereafter he began seeking treatment. Unfortunately, once the doctors started looking, they diagnosed Ken with stage 4 stomach cancer that has now spread throughout his entire digestive tract and even to his lymph nodes which means the cancer will most likely spread unstopped to other parts of his body. He has now had a feeding tube installed to allow him to get some nutrition. While Ken, does have insurance, it does not cover all expenses, and most importantly, it wont cover transport from his current home in Texas, back to where his family is in Michigan. Unfortunately, he is too sick to ride in a car, or fly, which means that he would have to be transported via private ambulance that will not be covered by insurance. He will also need to enter a long term care facility to help manage his pain and feeding as he can’t eat by normal methods. Unfortunately, the prognosis looks bleak, but we want to make sure we can get him back to his family in Michigan and help offset some of the costs associated with transportation and long term care. ANYTHING helps and we THANK YOU in advance. For those who cannot donate, please keep Ken, his family and friends in your prayers.



Thank you in advance and if any of you have any questions please let me know. I am handling this for Ken, as he was the best man in mine and Arch's wedding and means the world to us. Ken, Ken's Family, Leslie and Chuck Hochhalter as well as Archie and I would appreciate any help you can give.

Sincerely,
