Craig Latta's battle with stage 4 brain cancer

When some life challenges come your way, it takes almost all you have to focus on that challenge itself. But when you then layer in the myriad of questions that come coupled with financial uncertainty, it can overwhelm just about anyone. My hope and prayer is that together we can help take the financial uncertainty complication off the table for one family.

You see, my younger brother Craig (age 61) has had MS for the past 25 years. And he has handled it with grace and perseverance. However, last week his medical issues escalated significantly. He was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma multiform brain cancer. The immediate physical effects of this cancer have not allowed him to walk without assistance and weakened his hand and arm motor skills. His sweet wife, Lynette, who has been dealing with her own lung and breast cancer issues for the past 18 months, has been able to help with some of these issues. She’s able to keep her job and still receive treatment for her cancers, which provides medical insurance for their big medical bills.

Despite the benefit of insurance, there are numerous things insurance doesn’t cover. Between large medical deductibles, normal home responsibilities, and equipment modifications for their home, their economic needs are growing, and will continue to grow, into a significant sum.

Craig’s doctors have explained that the recovery process of brain surgery, radiation, chemo, and rehab will involve months of care with the goal of giving Craig up to 5 additional years of life.

My humble request is for your prayers and any financial gift for Craig and Lynette you might feel led to give as they face their journey together with much love and admiration for each other.

Thanking you in advance for your participation in their medical recovery process.

With Grateful Appreciation,

Mike Latta
