Help Andy Kick Cancer
Donation protected
Andy is a husband, grandfather, small business owner, supporter of his community, and my dad. Unfortunately he has also recently become a patient for cancer treatment.
In May of 2018, following a couple blood transfusions and a series of tests, it was discovered that he had cancer in his colon. Surgery was done on June 4th, his 63rd birthday. Following the surgery and further testing, cancer was also discovered in his neck and lymph glands. His second surgery is to be completed in July, and soon following will undergo radiation which will be performed 5 days a week for several weeks and will undergo a course of chemotherapy. The cost of his first surgery alone, was over $50,000.
In recent years, Andy had not been able to afford adequate insurance, and has only received a very small lump sum amount to cover all his medical costs. Being that his business is a "mom & pop" shop, the surgeries and course of treatment aren't the only extreme financial challenge, but also the inability to work and provide for his household for what will be several weeks.
Please help us rally behind a great family man and member of his community by ensuring he is able to afford the treatments needed to overcome this setback. Immediate support will help him get the appropriate treatments, with such, the outlook is positive.
Any level of support is greatly appreciated. Prayers are also welcomed.
Contact "The kids" through messaging on this site if you'd like to contribute in any other way, have any questions, or would just care to send good thoughts.
Thanks,
Molly, Ben & Cody![](https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/31098962_1530890153249836_r.jpeg)
