Fred Carpenter emergency medical fund

My sweet, fun loving brother is having a medical emergency and I am asking for help to relieve some of the financial burden this hospital stay and subsequent treatment is going to have on him and his sweet wife.

Fred was feeling dizzy for a few days and then the dizziness turned into more frightening symptoms like not being able to finish a sentence and forgetting where he was.  

The 1st Dr. visit found Fred with a diagnosis of inner ear infection and a prescription for vertigo medication.  

His symptoms worsened so he ended up in the emergency room where CT scans revealed a 3” mass on the back of his brain.  

Today they were able to give us the diagnosis:

lung cancer metastasized to the brain.  

They will operate tomorrow (April 16th) at 6:00am to remove the brain tumor and then began chemotherapy for the lung cancer.

Fred is the main financial provider for his family and only has one week of “sick leave”.  

His beautiful wife works also, but will not bring in enough to cover all their bills.

I am hoping maybe any little bit of financial help could allow Fred to concentrate on healing and battling this dreaded disease.

Fred has one grown son, and a one year old granddaughter that has stolen his heart.  

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
