Donate to help Dora and Allen Groll
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Emily, and I'm fundraising for Dora and Allen, a couple in our community currently facing Multiple Myeloma Cancer.
On April 6th of this year, Allen was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma with 17 p deletion and 1 q+, a very rare blood cancer that affects 1 in 200,000 people. There is currently no cure for it.
He started chemo treatment a week after being diagnosed and has spent eight days at St. Mary’s hospital in Green Bay and at Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital in Manistique. Allen has treatments every week, and on June 15, he will be going to Froedtert & MCW in Milwaukee for lab work and consultation for future SCT (Stem Cell Transplant) that will help prolong his life. The treatment will be done in Milwaukee, in which Allen will have to stay at Froedtert for up to 8 weeks. Allen has worked at Verso Paper Co, UP Sand and Gravel. For many years he was a Volunteer Firefighter for the Garden Volunteer Fire Dept. and an EMT for Fairbanks township.
The goal is to raise enough money to cover the travel expenses and lodging costs associated with Allen's upcoming treatment, so Dora can stay with and care for Allen during his weeks away from home. Any amount of donation is appreciated. There will also be a physical donation set up at the Garden Mini Mart, Tylene's Restaurent and Foxy's Den for those who would rather donate in person. All donations will go directly to Dora and Allen. Thank you for your generosity and support during this challenging time.
