Help Ben Fight Cancer
Donation protected
As many of you know, Jamie (Hatz) Robinette and her family recently received the heartbreaking news that her son, Benjamin, has bone cancer at the age of 15. It began with mild pain in his thigh but eventually became painful enough to visit a doctor. After several X-Rays, MRI’s and scans the doctors found a tumor in his left femur that has been growing for years. Since the diagnosis, Ben has been in and out of the hospital receiving treatment to ease the pain but thankfully received the amazing news that the cancer is contained and has NOT spread! Therefore, Ben will start his initial round of chemotherapy on Tuesday which will last 10 weeks.
The Robinette family is ready to fight this terrible disease, but as you can imagine, the cancer treatments over the next year are going to cause incredible physical, emotional, and financial strains for Jamie and her family. Work schedules will have to be juggled and insurance will only cover so much.
Many of you have asked how you can help. Jamie would never ask for money so her friends are asking for her. Any monetary donation you may wish to give would be greatly appreciated. Any amount is incredible and no sentiment is too small. All gifted funds will go directly to Jamie to help with Ben’s medical costs and any future needs her family may encounter while he is undergoing treatment. Our hope is that the Robinette family can focus on Ben getting better over the next year without the stress of wondering how to pay for the medical bills they will soon incur.
More importantly, continued prayers for Ben’s healing are needed. He is such an amazing kid and has so much positivity, faith and hope in what lies ahead for him. Please keep praying for Ben and his family as they being this long journey.
Thank you for the outpouring of love you have already shown to Ben and the Robinette family and for your incredible support. You are all truly loved and appreciated!
