Help Big Dave Murra

Donation protected
My big brother Dave Murra has been diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis and is very sick.  He currently has a feeding tube to provide him nourishment since he cannot eat.  If he does eat, it makes the pain unbearable.   Dave has not been able to work since early this summer.    We are moving Dave and his family back to his hometown of Brookings, SD, in order to be closer to his doctors in Minneapolis, and to be closer to  his family.  Dave is being treated by the doctors at the University of Minnesota and has had to make several trips to Minneapolis for stays in the hospital, with several more trips to follow.  Once the doctors decide he is well enough for the surgery, they will be performing the Whipple Procedure on him.  This is a very serious surgery where he will need to spend 1-2 weeks in the hospital.  Once he is released, he will need to stay somewhere near the hospital in order to be monitored by his doctors.  While Dave does have health insurance coverage with the state, he does not have any income to pay for living and travel expenses for him and his family.    Dave, and his long-time girlfriend Sammie, have 2 daughters Jamie and Abbie.   Please consider donating to help Dave get thru this terrible illness.
