Navy Vet with stage 4 lung cancer

NAVY VET NEEDS YOUR HELP
Alan Jackson: "Where were you when the world stopped turning?" My son-in-law Bill Phillips will always remember the month, day and time when the VA doctor in Atlanta, GA told him and his wife that he had stage 4 lung cancer.
I am raising money for Bill who has spent his adult life serving his country, and others, in the Navy for 26 years only taking one day of sick leave. After retiring he has spent most of his time working as a manager for senior retirement communities. He loved serving seniors, it was his passion. Serving others has always been Bill's passion. Bill's medical expenses will mostly be paid for but his monthly bills will not. I want Bill to go to bed at night and rise each morning with just one thing on his mind...FIGHT THE CANCER AND GET BETTER.
In March 2018 He started to feel weak and exhausted. He developed a terrible cough and was short of breath. By April doctors at VA were able to determine he had stage 4 lung cancer. He was then forced to quit work, and enter the hospital for treatment and chemo. He is weak, on oxygen, and has a chest tube. Bill can no longer work.
