Joe's Cancer Journey

This GoFundMe is for Joe Russell & family. Joe is a type 2 diabetic who has had a hard time recovering from his third round of COVID illness. Due to issues relating from the COVID illness he has been out of work since September 2022. Last week he was in so much pain that he went to the ER & they admitted him for jaundice then starting running a battery of tests. Today it was confirmed that he has colon cancer & will undergo immediate chemo treatments. Joe & Stevi are not financially prepared for a fight with cancer. We are asking for help with all costs associated with medical treatments, bills, etc.

Joe is 48 years old & married to Stevi with two children- Zennia, 10yo & Severen, 8yo who are both homeschooled. Previously, Joe was working as a lead Technician for Peggs. Since he is unable to perform manual labor now, he hopes to move into an IT role to be able to work from home in the future. He has a passion for the arts & music. Joe is described by his wife as selfless, always putting others before himself, he has the ability to make you laugh regardless of the circumstances, he has a quick wit, & protects his family first.

Joe & Stevi are so grateful for all of the prayers that have been pouring over them since Joe was admitted to the hospital.

I know some people love to bless others with the gift of food, but due to Joe's compromised immune system the family has asked for restaurant gift cards instead of homemade meals. Your thoughtfulness is appreciated!
