CANCER PLEASE HELP $$$ NEEDED FOR A FAMILY

Donation protected
My name is Ness Pierson
I’m begging for help as one of my best friends in Kentucky! Kim is an amazing person who is so sweet and kind and loving and thoughtful. Not to mention giving and her husband is a hard working guy with a teddy bear heart! Their only child is a sweetheart who went thru the pain and trauma of two very painful scary jaw reconstruction surgerys. Unfortunately this amazing family has been hit very hard this year! Her hard working husband Mark who have been together since the 4th grade met as youngsters and have been together everyday of their lives; a true love story. They have one amazing child Marcus. Unfortunately Mark is 53 years young, way too young to be hit in the prime of his life with not 1 but 2 CANCERS! Mark wasn’t doing well and went for a check up and he was diagnosed with Prostate cancer first. Boy was that a huge blow and as a young man a smack in the face! Now as they were coming to terms with it, while the Drs were doing tests they also found cancer in the Kidney! Now to get hit with one cancer is traumatic but to hear you have 2 different cancers, well that is unbelievably unbearable & unthinkable!! It is devastating to the family and to all who know them! This family has always worked very hard their whole life to help others! They are good god fearing people. They are never the type to ask for help ever! In fact they wouldn’t ask for help! They would go without first! They are the first ones to give. So I’m taking the reins and I’m on my knees asking! I’m begging I’m begging badly for you to please give what you can! We have searched everything for grants and donations. We have applied for SSI and can’t get an appointment for months then it’s 5-8 months to get a verdict. It’s highly unlikely they will get anything. I’m so mad because in 2023, there are 5 states in this great country of ours that unfortunately don’t offer short term disability. Well they live in Kentucky and it’s one of 5 states that doesn’t offer short term disability. Mark will be out of work for several months. The money will go towards the mortgage payments, the car payments, food, medicine and medical bills. They had an emergency fund but unfortunately, their sweet son Marcus, their only child had to have two very expensive jaw reconstruction surgeries. One of the surgeries his eye was cut badly and then the brackets broke in his jaw and they had to endure another operation that was also very painful and very expensive. Their emergency fund is depleted, it’s all gone and they are now in a mountain of bills. They are drowning. They have sunk to the bottom. There is no life raft!  It’s something no one should go thru! Mark, is only 53 and has his whole life ahead of him with his loving family. Mark unfortunately had his first surgery a couple weeks ago to have his entire kidney removed as the cancer mass was huge. This is setting him back many more months than expected. The life raft is gone! Today right now as I am writing this crying my eyes out for them. Mark is in surgery having his prostate removed for the second cancer surgery. We are praying non stop the cancer hasn’t spread. During this terrible time in their life there kitty they rescued off a local golf course bogey got very sick and had to be put to sleep, another bill added to the pile. They have no family to help or fall back on. We are hitting an ice burg. We need your help so much right now! I know everyone is struggling and money is tight. If you can help in any way we will be forever grateful. Mark's loving wife Kim works and has health insurance but she has a $11,000 deductible. Kim’s paycheck only covers the little bills in the house. Mark's pay check took care of the mortgage and car payments and other monthly bills. Their only child who is still healing desperately wants to  finish college as a computer programmer. This way he can step in his fathers shoes and be the man of the house while his dad, his hero is healing. He desperately wants to help his family financially. His father is his best friend and his mother is his world. His semester is $3000 and the college has no emergency funds to offer. If there ever was a family more deserving, it’s these three beautiful people who never ask for help, but are always there to help others. They always make sure they volunteer and help the local breast cancer clinic and the homeless and anyone in need!

This family is the all American family. These kind people care true red white and blue people who will help the homeless they will help the community they will help the voiceless. Please help me help these beautiful sweet caring people. Please share with everyone you know. Any amount will help. Cancer is terrible. No one wants to hear that diagnosis. Can you put yourself in their shoes and imagine hearing you have major cancer in 2 separate major organs? It’s life changing, it’s heartbreaking!! I will do anything to help this family! Thank you for donating to this very generous family! I have nowhere else to turn. This is our last resort. PLEASE HELP US. PLEASE FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO DONATE WHAT YOU CAN! If you have a business you can make it a tax deduction. You can even take it off your personal taxes! If you have a church group or women’s group that does fundraising it will help! PLEASE I'M BEGGING PLEASE HELP!
