Billy's Fight Against Cancer
- Hi, my name is Melissa, and I'm fervently praying for God's grace and glory to bring healing to my husband of 16 yrs, Billy Eason.
- Our story is one of strength, perseverance, and the unwavering power of love.
Diagnosis and Struggles:
- Five years ago, Billy received the devastating diagnosis of Renal Cell Carcinoma at the old medical college of Georgia. As a result, his right kidney had to be removed. This news shook our world to its core.
- Billy's illness has taken a toll on our relationship and family, as he has battled the disease for a considerable time. Back then, we were approaching our 50s. The weight of the situation left us feeling helpless and without a place to call home.
Billy's relentless spirit drove him:
- to seek odd jobs every day, just to put food on our table. His unwavering blue-collar work ethic was evident as he toiled in the scorching South Carolina heat or freezing winters, earning as little as $30.
Overcoming Tragedy:
- Our journey took another heartbreaking turn when I suddenly lost my sight, leaving me completely blind. It felt as if our world was being swallowed by darkness. However, Billy stood by my side, offering unwavering support .
A Glimmer of Hope:
- In February, my disability was approved, which provided a ray of hope. we purchased a 50-foot fifth-wheel trailer and secured a space in Haggis RV Park.
Ongoing Battle Against Cancer:
- Sadly, Billy's fight against cancer continued. The disease spread to his bladder, causing further health complications. Being employed by Quality Plus Service Billy has been unable to work for the past four weeks and, may require an additional four weeks of recovery. We are incredibly grateful for the way his employer, and co-workers has supported us during this challenging time, going above and beyond to assist our family.
Enduring Challenges:
- Past two Recent months have seen Billy undergo four invasive surgeries, two of which were emergency procedures due to complications from transitional cell carcinoma. He has endured multiple stays in the ICU, all while maintaining hope.
Financial Struggles:
- Once again, we find ourselves grappling with financial difficulties. We are struggling to pay rent and face the looming threat of eviction. Furthermore, the mounting medical bills have surpassed $30,000 and continue to escalate. Currently Billy's insured coverage is with Blue Cross & Blue Shield. Were unable to pay co-pay portion, and scared he'll be dropped, or worse. I'm praying you'll donate towards our cause, it's vital for our economic survival, even more Billy's continuation of life.
- Sincerest Thanks, and appreciation, In advance to all.
Thanks,
